CIMA's focus on management functions makes it unique, and it is internationally recognised as offering the financial qualification for business.

CIMA is 'rapidly becoming the chartered qualification of choice' according to recent independent research*, and it works with leading employers in the UK and around the world to train and qualify financial managers. We pride ourselves on the commercial relevance of our syllabus, which is continually enhanced to reflect the latest developments in business.

In Robert Half's current survey, CIMA is found to be "the most popular choice of accountancy qualification for the part-qualified finance professional."**
