    Hiya<BR><BR>I've just passed all my exams to. I've already enrolled with CIMA. My understanding is very briefly:<BR><BR>CIMA is directed more at accountants in industry (more costing)<BR>ACCA is directed more working in practice (more tax)<BR><BR>The other body (I always forget the letters) are aimed at being a tax accountants and their exams are more difficult to pass because they're time barred. <BR><BR>Good luck whatever you choose.<BR><BR>

    Thank you for that.<BR><BR>I will have to maybe have a look at CIMA as I am working in industry.<BR><BR>Do you know if there is any difference in the qualifications. I mean is one higher than the other?

    I don't think there's much difference to be honest. They're all accountants although I believe the chartered lot seem to think they're better because the exams are time barred and therefore more difficult to pass!<BR><BR>
