Any Accountants on here?

[uuf361]

I have a degree in Accounting, and now ACMA.

Strategic level and Case Study will be very hard for home study.

ACCA is different from CIMA. If you just want to do financial reporting and management accounts, then you choose ACCA. CIMA is for someone who want to be part of senior executive management for driving the business forward.

For most accountancy qualifications, you need relevant work experience to become qualified (min. 3 years for CIMA). You need to gain accounting experience, but just passing exam.

Interesting - I'm in the exec team at my company and I'm FCCA and I've never done any financial reporting or management accounts in my career. The other execs in the finance area (plus the CEO) are either ACCA or ICAEW, no CIMA......I have nothing against CIMA (my brother is CIMA) but don't think it opens up more doors than ICAEW or CIMA, if anything (based on his experience) less......
