CIMA Launches 50% Discount Offer, Fast Track Route on CGMA

Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), has launched a special offer of 50% off its standard registration fee for Masters of Business Administration (MBA) and Masters of Science (MSc) in accounting holders, as well as chartered accountants.

The special offer, which closes 31December 2016, allows Nigerians with the relevant degrees to extend the global reach of their career by obtaining the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation.

This designation for management accountants is recognised the world over as the most relevant finance qualification for business and is powered by the expertise and resources of CIMA and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Speaking on the special discount offer, Ijeoma Anadozie, CIMA Nigeria Country Manager said: “In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environment, high-quality decision making has become more important or more difficult. Integrated thinking is the future. Remarkably, the CIMA curriculum has been designed to produce integrated thinkers who are in high demand in top organisations because they perform consistently better than industry peers. And against the backdrop of Naira’s deprecation, we see this as the way to make CIMA more accessible to a greater number of business, finance and accounting graduates and professionals.”

The Country Manager disclosed that CIMA’s accelerated route has been extended to chartered accountants, MSc in Accounting and MBA holders in Nigeria. The route, according to her, grants 12 exemptions out of 17 papers, leaving applicants just fives papers to write after the initial assessment.

Successful candidates are also awarded the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting, entitling them to use of the professional letters CIMA Ad Dip MA.
