Cma (usa) vs cima/cgma (uk)

Hi Friends,

I need ur take on this.

I am a MBA Finance, currently working with one of the Big 4 Consultancy Firms.

I have realized the importance of having an accountancy qualification under my belt. ( Hopefully its not too late)

I seem to be been more interested towards the commercial and strategic side of finance i.e financial management,financial planning & analysis rather than the tactical side of finace viz asset management, trading, equity research etc.

I have narrowed down to pursue one of the two accoutancy qualification - CMA, USA and CIMA(CGMA) UK.

I am quite confused as to which one shud I pursue.

I really cant distinguish between the two.

Both the qualifications are well respected globally as well in their respective regions.

Please spare some time out of your schedules to guide me on which qualification should I go ahead with.

Thank you much in advance.:)
