May I know how many exemptions will I get if I’ve completed ACCA already? Is it necessary for me to take CIMA after completing ACCA?
Thanks a lot
I can’t think why anyone would need both of these qualifications.ACCA allows people to take other option papers post-qualification so the advanced performance management qualification could be taken if it had not been during qualification process.In terms of career progression,experience in relevant areas will matter more than which qualification you have obtained.
If you are interested in what CIMA exemptions you can obtain with ACCA qualification you should find them on the following exemptions database-
https://www.cimaglobal.com/Starting-CIMA/Starting-CIMA/Exemptions/Exemption-Search/I have thought about this too but I realised I don’t think it is worth the effort apart from having CGMA next to your name. Each is a highly reputable qualification and one becomes superior to the other only when you ask someone who may prefer one over the other. In terms of standing, ACCA seems to have a lot more to offer in terms of flexibility and global recognition (maybe I am being biased 🙂 )
in South Africa they prefer Cima than Acca. Their local body don’t like acca.In order to get job u need to do Cima after acca. Even u finished your Acca modules is difficult to get job unless u already working in financial environment might be easy that way. Even their local degree once they finish it, they do Cima.Or u do Cima from the start. Even myself I will do Cima once finished Acca not for status but to get job quickly as I’m not working in financial environment. Even if I do Cima advance level only u get job quickly in South Africa as long as u have some thing written Cima in one of your qualification.
