As far as CIMA is concerned I think it is more better than ACCA. I know in UK mostly employers give preference to CMA's of CIMA on ACCA's. A survey has conducted in UK in this regard that shows that more than 60% employers give the preference to CMA's while recruiting for accounts jobs.
The results of this survey had been quoted previously by ICMAP in the ads for admissions. In my opinion ICMAP has most warm relations with CIMA than any other institute of world. CIMA is more popular than ICMAP at global level. But in Job market of Pakistan CMA's of ICMAP has more worth than CMA's of CIMA. In my opinion CIMA is easier than ICMAP. Many persons who fail to complete ICMA switch over to CIMA and within actual time complete it. The main reason of low scope of CIMA in our country's job market is the fact that corporate and tax laws of Pakistan are not being taught and CIMA cannot get popularity in the country. Mostly students who want to get some UK qualification in accounts get admission in ACCA. I always say that CMA's of CIMA are counterpart of CMA's of ICMAP. Majority of students of CIMA, who wish to start their career in Pakistan, also get the membership of ICMAP after completing CIMA. I have full regard for the CMA's of CIMA and often consider them future members of ICMAP in near or far future time.
As far as the comparison between CIMA and ICMAP is concerned I will strongly recommend that the same yardsticks should be used for comparison between ACCA and ICAP. If one uses different yardsticks and standards for these two comparisons then it will give birth to doubt that one has made double standards.
