Hi Everybody,
I am keenly monitoring the discussion on this forum. I know many forum members felt offending when I said that CMA-US is not a recognized in US. I have been living in Canada for a long time and travel US, every other month. On top of my CMA designation from Pakistan that I got some 17 years ago I also hold accounting designations in these countries. I gave my advice truly based on my experience.
An answer to Awais Asif is that CMA is a registered body in US as ICSP in Pakistan (registered under Companies Ordinance) and has no powers at all. I know some people are very smart and they can choose the routes they want. Please also note that Canadian Institutes won't grant you exemption unless you passed the exam from respective institute. We canât enforce on our thoughts on someone else.
Latest development is that a guy with CA inter from Pakistan, CMA-US and CIA-US has been denied to write the CPA exam because CMA-US is not an approved body. Please let me know if any CMA-US has been approved to write the CPA exam for the benefit of other members.
Wish you all the best
