    You can find out about exemptions for various courses on accaglobal.com.

    As far as I know you won't get any exemptions solely for passing a couple of CIMA exams. <- Note, this was me being wrong. There are some exemptions for passing certain papers

    ACCA and CIMA are probably comparable in difficulty, however I doubt anyone took both sets of exams just to compare them.

    Hi Op,

    You started CIMA for a reason – has your career plan changed?

    If it’s solely for exam reasons you’d be unwise to change. ACCA exams are not easier. You’ll most likely end up doing more ACCA exams than what you have remaining with CIMA.

    ACCA have an exemption database that easy to use on their website. 2 mins of searching and you should find it.
