<br />Dear Sohail,
What do you think. Will this change in syllabus effect the exemption policies of other institutes?
Because they have removed economics and syllabus is shorter than before. Please correct me if i am wrong.
As you have qualified so u know better than me.

Zubair

Dear Zubair,
Though I am not very much in favor of this change but IMA made this big shift after a very detailed survey from all over the world.
They eleminated few topics and added few new topics in the syllabus but they will test those eleminated topics as well in the exams by assuming that students have already basic level knowledge of elemintaed subjects before appearing in exams.
Change is always important to appear separate from group and whether this change is good or bad only time will tell us.
Following I am quoting list of elminated and added topic in the revised syllabus;
<b><u><i>Eliminated portions</i></u></b>
Business Economics
Global Business
Information Management
External Financial Statement Reporting
Strategic Marketing
Portion of Strategic Planning subsection
<font color="red"><b><u><i>New Sections</i></u></b></font id="red">
Top-Level Planning
Financial Performance Metrics
Analytical Issues in Financial Accounting
Managing Financial Risk
Raising Capital
Corporate Restructuring
Risk Assessment
Valuation
IMA is planning to shift their concentration from middle to managerial/CFO level positions..and to do that thing they need this change.
