<br />because CIMA is not easy to do completely as compared to ACCA. moreover if you see its subjects you will notice that it contains a good syllabus aswell
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">The fact is, the chartered exams are perceived as being more difficult than the others, so people who've attained them are considered to have reached a higher standard. In comparison with CIMA ACCA also stipulate a considerably greater amount of continuing professional development. CIMA doesn't require any, while ACCA's requirement is for 35 hours per year.
Perception matters. If you look at the recruitment pages, you'll see that many of the better jobs advertised, both here and abroad, specifically state that they want people with ACCA/CIMA/ICAEW. I have attempted papers of both qualifications and beleive me they are equally tough although others can argue otherwise.

<br />Rationalization of this exemption is required because ICMAP courses are also matching to the CIMA.
