I am CA with 7 years of post qualification experience. I am currently working with a banking company and looking for pursuing any other professional qualification which can help me in my career growth. As this is going to be an additional qualification I just want to go strictly by return on investment. I need your valuable advice how useful it is doing CIMA for a person like me!

I am inclined towards CIMA as they are offering processional gateway assessment which is more like a shortcut for quicker qualification. Hope I have made myself clear! Please advise..

Please also drop few words on general acceptances and recognition of CIMA in India in job circles…

Hey Srinivas, I feel that CIMA will basically expand your horizon, diversify or amplify your thought process and actually let you think in a more strategic way.

Today, if a CA qualification can make you a pro with accounts and evaluate the profit and loss in your head by merely looking at the accounts then I can tell that after CIMA qualification, you'll be able to answer the whys and whats of the accounts and actually provide a way forward. So if you see, your thinking will transform into more business oriented.

I have seen a lot of them ask as whether CIMA will get them a good package and stuff like that. But when your knowledge base is so dynamic and so intense that making money is just cakewalk. I've worked with many CIMA people and I can tell that they have a vision and they're extremely practical.

See, I tell you the ground reality. The truth is that CA is the daddy in INDIAN Market!!! You're a CA, you're recognised by Indian employers, you get good packages and basically you get sorted. But with CIMA it's not the case in INDIA.

But.. like I said before you'll have a panoramic view after the qualification rather than a fixed focus! Choice is yours..
