Financial Management

Certificate Level

The CImA Certificate in Business Accounting is ideal for people who are new to the world of
business qualification because it offers a solid grounding in the basics of management
accounting, financial accounting and business and consists of 5 papers. It is also a stepping
stone towards the CImA Professional Qualification.

Operational Level

ethics, forecasting, reporting and marketing, from an operations view. Students who pass all
three operational level papers will be awarded the CI mA diploma in management
accounting.

T4 consists of two parts: you must complete three years of relevant, practical work based
experience (Part A) and you must pass a final case study exam where you apply your
knowledge to a business problem (Part B). The assessment of case study draws on the
material which has been covered throughout the qualification, particularly in the three
Strategic level papers. You can complete parts A and B in any order once you have passed
the Strategic level Examinations, altough we recommend that you work on both elements
concurrently.
