Hi,
If a person wants to give CIMA papers (
www.cimaglobal.com), does he get more exemptions
1) If he is an ACCA ?
2) Or if he is a CA intermediate ?
According to the CIMA's website, an ACCA gets far more exemptions than a CA inter. Is this true ?
Cheers,
AvgJoe
PS You can check the exemptions given using the following link

Yes that's true,.. since Both CIMA and ACCA are UK degrees.
"Allah does not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves" Quran 1311
Thanks pracs.
Another question! How did u do both CA & ACCA ? Did u do ACCA first & then join a firm for articleship & remaining CA ? If so, did u encounter any difficult in getting into the firm, from which u did ur articleship ?
Cheers,
AvgJoe
Of Course ACCA is granted far more exemtions inCIMA than CA Intermediate..
The immediate reason beeing that in Uk CIMA, ACCA , ICAEW beeing the qualifications of the same Imp and Recognition.... So it is considered much more superior than CA intermediate and likewise more exemptions are granted......
And considering that ACCA can get exemption in CA till D Module...
And considering the difficulty one of my cousion Ahsan Nazir Khawaja Qualified ACCA in 1st attempt in dec 2003 and now he is in 4 RoadsSH.
Doing CA. He gor appointed in that firm without any form Of SAFARISH or REFERALL.
Furthermore we will be looking for PRACS to guide is a bit more......
Thanks.........

u have two options to do ACCA+CA
complete ur ACCA first...u ll get exmptions of Mod. A,B,C,D
and time period for articles will also be reduced to 3 years...
second method that my brother adopted is to complete ur CA Intermediate...u ll get exemptions in 1.1,1.2,1.3 and 2.1...
the second method is more time consuming as compared to 1st one...
it has one more advantage that u ll be preferred to other candidates while joining a "Firm" for articles...

BUT By Adopting the 1st method u will be a holder of 2 Qualifications ACCA+ ACA but by adopting The 2nd Way u wont be a qualifed ACA and u will only have THe ACCA qualification as a benchmark....
So i think the 1st method is more preferable.....
Still its m own opinion what abt others....

Doesnt it refers that by doing CA Intermediate in the second Option U will only pass CA till Module D and then be exempted in ACCA....
Wont this only give u the ACCA qualification........

Sawalat, u can continue with ur Module E & F studies & give ACCA papers side by side (while doing ur articles).
I dont think the second method (doing CA inter first, then doing ACCA along with CA studies) makes any sense. Does it ? Did anyone of our forum members attempt this?
And Pracs, did u do ACCA first or afterwards ?
Sawalat, u can continue with ur Module E & F studies & give ACCA papers side by side (while doing ur articles).
But dont u think there will be a sort of a clash between the exam dates of CA and ACCA papers as both will also be held In December Session........
I dont think it creates anyt sense... i totally agree with u but still its also a valid option as pointed out by MAni Bhai........
And Attempting CA and ACCA side by side will really spell doom on the person........ But still there are many harworking and Exceptionally Good ppl to attempt them and Some of them are even in this forum haannnnn.... Like Me<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

clash can be there between the dates...but remember...after passing module D...a student gets a gap of atleast two years for attempting module E examintations...and during that two years gap he can complete ACCA...

But wont it be really difficult to complete Articles Alongside study of ACCA and CA Both ! I think it will be better to Complete ACCA gain exemption in CA.

One have to prepare for module E and F exams during articles...so studying ACCA's papers along with mod E exams prepare u both for ACCA papers and Mod E...coz both have same syllabus contents(almost)

but i havent seen any student Completing there Qualification through the 2nd route which is more difficult and more time consuming when compared to the 1st one...
By choosing the 1st route the student can be more relaxed as he will only be studying 1 qualification at a time and it will also take a shorter time than the second one....
So why choose the Second route..... thanks...
