Mariam - 15 Jan 2006, 01:55 pm
:D:D make your question more precise.
Appropriate for what :wave:
ACCA bee bunday hee krtay hain or CIMA beee.
nafeesa - 15 Jan 2006, 08:34 pm
Each program has its own benefits and limitations.

If you are asking about appropriation of the degree then you might have to look at primary difference between CIMA and ACCA first.

The CIMA syllabus is orientated towards the accountant’s role as a member of the management team of an organisation, and covers a wider range of non-financial subjects.
In business, CIMA members are more likely to be found in general management roles.


The ACCA syllabus, however, is orientated towards the accountant’s role in professional practice, with greater emphasis placed on financial accounting, audit and tax.
Chartered certified accountants can train in public practice (accountancy firms) or in industry. In business, they are more likely to be found compiling the financial accounts of the business or advising the company on its tax situation and on ways to invest its profits.

paki girl - 19 Jan 2006, 08:41 am

Valid is valid.

Half hearted questions will never return you helpful answers.
diya - 22 Jan 2006, 11:01 pm
simply i wanna ask dat wat shld i choose in pk which one is more appropriate whether i shld do cima or acca......is it clear now
Leen - 22 Jan 2006, 11:50 pm
It depends on the position you are in now:
1- If ur just starting studying (ie. Fresh graduate) ACCA would be the best choice.
2- CIMA would be good if ur already working and want to develop ur self to become in a senior position.
But I strongly recommend ACCA because it’s stronger than CIMA.
All the audit and accounting companies in my country when they first employee fresh graduates they make them chose between studying ACCA or CPA because they are the best accounting professional degrees in the world and more popular and wanted than CIMA.

If you are pakistan then ACCA is best choice.
Leen - 23 Jan 2006, 07:35 am
ACCA is the best choice any where u are (except U.S.A which they prefer CPA), u can work any where in the world with ur ACCA it's a global professional degree :)
and I think diya meant by more valid --> more wanted
Kayleigh - 23 Jan 2006, 09:01 pm
It all depends on your environment,interest and demand where you live.Would you like to give some more detail about your question ?
diya - 24 Jan 2006, 04:18 pm

Mohsin_Ali - 25 Jan 2006, 12:01 am
:) Your question and spellings are not very good you need to go for matriculation first before CIMA or ACCA :)
Mohsin_Ali - 25 Jan 2006, 12:06 am
You are asking what is more "appropriate" what is more "valid" :D:D
Are you in your senses ?
zarga - 25 Jan 2006, 02:36 am
First of all i would say that the comparision you people are doing here is perfectly wrong, as ,

1. the nature of work of the respective qualifications are different.(ACCA is auditing and financial reporting .CIMa is Management accounting anf finance related ya ! )

2. CImA is equivalent to masters degree in UK and in Pakistan and after CimA membership whole ICMAP is exempt.

regards

hey mohsin i didnt ask u giv me such advices n as far as matriculation is concerned so itz not necessary 4 acca
Mohsin_Ali - 27 Jan 2006, 12:35 am
So what you are going to select as your career qualification?
omeronly - 27 Jan 2006, 07:35 am
guys i think rather than gettin to right solution u guys r critcising on the person. For the time bieng ACCA hass created its worth in Pakistan , and so on. But my observation results in that CIMA is more beneficial in production depts. cuz CIMA has substantial part of cost and managment acounting. where ACCA covers all equally. So Better Option is Dependent on ur inner potential. Wut u think u can do better go for that.
diya - 01 Feb 2006, 05:37 am
mohsin i think i better chooze matriculation ...wat u say!

Diya , Simply speeking CIMA specifically deals with Management Accountancy but ACCA deals mostly in all major fields as well . in our Pakistan enviorment MNCs are preferring ACCA & if you have experience then its too good .

I ll prefer u go for ACCA and just complete it ASAP .Then do what you organization demands or what current market demands .

Cima only teaches Management accountancy but in ACCA you know every aspects of Accountancy . So make a decision where shud u go ? its up to u . If you wih to have CMA then do it in matured age i mean after 3-5 yrs experience . but at this stage go for ACCA bcz a fast growing body and international acceptance and preference of employer.

I think this might help .

Thx

There is no such thing as PK ACCA.
ACCA is globel and even more recognized out of Pakistan.
