I need advise (its quite urgent) from all the members on this forum- especially from senior members who have been working in India.

As you must have guessed it by now- I need your valuable opinion on ACCA or CIMA or CPA (Australia)- from India's perspective. I have finished my CMA (IMA-USA) + ICWA (through MRA with IMA) + B.Com. I want to pursue one (and the last !!) of the three qualifications- ACCA or CIMA or CPA (AUS).

I know that none of these qualifications can match with CA's demand in India but after CA (and of course ICWA) which of these qualification will help in India in getting a good job.

I would appreciate if you can take out some time from your busy schedules and advise me on this issue. That will be really great

Cheers

Vic

You should really focus and trying obtaining the US CPA qualification. Trust me, nothing beats it. It has international recognitiion, and the amount of US work that is coming into India (audit and tax), it's the best qualification to have.

The other degrees are good, but purely talking from a recognition perspective, that is the most recognized as of now.

Also, how is the CMA USA ? Is it good ?
