Great marketing stunt.
On the one hand the marketer is saying big words on the other hand they have only one instructor (himself).
Undermining ICMAP and ICAP position/value internationally is big bluff. These both institutions are well reputable not only in Middle East but also in EU and USA. I, myself, have friends working in USA with certification from ICMAP and ICAP.
Ironically, these four certifications (CPA, CFM, CMA, ACCA) are being used to promote marketer MBA program. IMA took very big U turn in their examination contents and procedures; on the other hand to sit in CPA we should have to meet the criteria which is not easy to obtain instead more complicated. I am very sorry to say that the writer himself doesnât know GAAP understanding as GAAP stands for generally accepted accounting principal, it is the expression can use even for IAS. This is generic term can be used for any accounting standards so the GAAP used in USA is SFAS issued by FASB.
We donât have to undermine our certifications i.e. CA and CMA from ICMAP. These are two proud institutions which are heavily recognized by every big accounting society. If you are the member of ICMAP or ICAP, you can have 50 to 75 percent exemption almost every accounting society from SMA to CGA.
I would like to point out one more things. If said MBA program is really worthwhile then how it will be possible to person to sit in IMAâs CMA, as they have specific requirement to get registered for exam almost just like AICPA. What about experience?
SFAS and IAS are really quite different so how this MBA program will give the understanding to the student about their differences.
Fees are too much.
As per ACCA is concern we have other very much learning opportunities available.
I donât want to be a detractor. I just feel something and I write it down. However, please consider my points while choosing any MBA program.
