Generally speaking, Management Accounting and Internal Audit may be viewed in two lights.
Management Accounting and Internal Audit may be seen as different from each other since the purposes are different and the workings too.
But you may also say that Management Accounting and Internal Audit are similar because mostly, in Internal Audit is being carried out on the management and their controls.
I would suggest, do CIMA, join a company, start working, take your time and have a feel for what is actually going on and if then u reach a point in ur life wher u require CIA, then do it.
Don't follow the crowd, stand out. Don't run after qualifications, i've seen 18 yo kids with ACCA's and planning on doing CFA and so on.
The job market needs experience.
Internal Audit is a consultancy based approach and very very different from Management Accounting.
