  • 1.  Exploring Next Steps After CMA

    Posted 06-22-2026 09:32 AM

    Hi all,

    I am pleased to share that I have successfully cleared both parts of the CMA and am currently an active member of the IMA.

    I am now keen to pursue further education and would like your guidance on whether pursuing the US CPA or CIA would effectively complement and leverage my current qualification.

    Additionally, I would appreciate your insights on the relative difficulty levels of these two courses.

    Thanks in advance!

    Best Regards,

    Ashwini Hegde
