I'd prefer ACCA any day,.. not because of the fact that I also hold an ACCA too. Simply because it has made a dent into the Pakistani accounting circles,.. a lot of ACCA's and CA/ACCA are already posted at mid management level. In Pakistan (Unlike the UK where CMA's have their niche in the market)CA has always had a presedence over the cost accountants (ACMA's) as ACCA has begun to function a second tier to the CA's (replacing the ACMA's to one tier below)it would make more sense.
Anyways if you have the stamina, resources and the time you could opt for CIMA..qualify and then sit for the final stages of ACCA and vice versa ofcourse.
I am not sure of the exemptions and the training you will have to go through for ICMAP... any members care to shed light on that ?
