So… my situation is that I’m due to complete my ACCA qualification early in my training contract. I should be done by Dec 2018, by which point I’ll be just over 2 years into a 3.5 year training contract in internal audit (Big 4).
Currently pondering on what I could be doing over the remaining 1.5 years, from an education perspective, to add value to my CV.
So far, I was thinking maybe
* ACA (I’d be CAP1 and CAP2 exempt, and just would have to do FAE)
* CIMA (I’d be able go straight in at professional gateway level – 2 case studies and 3 multiple choice exams).
* ACCA’s long distance MSc in Professional Accountancy through the University of London
* Prince2 (expensive, but short project management qualification that doesn’t require an experience component).
* Something in the area of C++ or other programming languages.
* Not particularly keen on doing the CIA internal auditor exams, as I don’t think internal audit is my long-term career path, but it’s not out of the question…For context, my professional areas of interests are currently in the areas of audit and consulting. I haven’t made up my my mind yet as to whether I’ll be staying in public accounting long-term or movinig into industry…
Does anyone have any opinions on what value any of the above qualifications would add to ACCA? (or does anyone have any other suggestions for my list?)
Many thanks!

Im planning to do CMA after finishing acca, chartered management account of US.
I read it is becoming highly recognized and the advantage is that there are only 2 exams.
and i think it complements my acca , as it is focused on management accounting and im choosing auditing and tax for options for acca, so i have both auditing and management.
CIMA and ACA are quite similar to acca so does it really add value?
CMA or CFA?
