Switching from ACCA to CIMA

JQ25 · 2012-12-19 12:50:34

Hi All, I'm seriously thinking of switching to CIMA, long story short I'm just more interested in strategic management and man accountancy. Just want to ask how others might have got on doing this? I'm wondering what kind of exemptions i'd get from CIMA, with the ACCA I got exempt from F1, F2, F3 ,F4,F9 and have passed F5…

Hi All,

I'm seriously thinking of switching to CIMA, long story short I'm just more interested in strategic management and man accountancy. Just want to ask how others might have got on doing this?

I'm wondering what kind of exemptions i'd get from CIMA, with the ACCA I got exempt from F1, F2, F3 ,F4,F9 and have passed F5 and F6. So with these in mind could somebody please let me know what I'd likely get exempt from CIMA, and can I carry exams over, e.g. F5 for CIMA's performance management equivalent?

I'd just like to know where I'd be starting off from. There was an issue with our college course (DIT) not getting the exemptions in on time so can't access my graduating year online. So that's why I haven't contacted them yet.

Thanks in advance

CIMA would be more relevant to what you want to do but your work experience would be as important.

Have you considered the
Smurfit Msc in Strategic Management Accounting?

I don't think you can get exemptions for exams passed with another body. As far as I know you need to have gained a cert of some sort for them to count.

Edit: ACCA give you an option on what final subjects you at the end.
