CIMA's official text and to supplement it you can use BPP study text also. One of them offers in-depth knowledge while the other one explians only at the surface-level; good enough for the biggners. FTC's study package is also equally good.
OHHHH Dear Astute Accountant CMA is very different from CIMA..
CMA is [Certified Management Accountant] this is the certification from IMA(The Institute Of Management Accountants USA)
IMAs URL is http//www.imanet.org/
whereas,
CIMA is(The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants UK)
CIMAs URL is http//www.cimaglobal.com/cps/rde/xchg/live/root.xsl/index.htm
CMA is CIMA`s USA replacement, but for more easier and can be completed in a short span of time, i myself cleared upto 2 papers of cima managerial level, alongwith i m planning to sit in CMA papers , so any one cleared CMA, plz mention the name of authors for CMA part 1 and 2,
Oh sorry...... yes Amir bhai I really didn't pay a heed if it was CIMA or CMA. I just had a glance at it and thought it to be CIMA.
Anyway, profound thanks for correcting me.
