Special offer for AAT Members and Passed Finalists

CIMA has announced a special offer where AAT professionals will have to pay only 50% of the exemption fees when they register with CIMA from 30 June to 31 July 2012.

Members and passed finalists of AAT are entitled to exemptions from all papers of the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, which is the stepping stone to the CIMA Professional Qualification.

Over the years, a large number of AAT professionals have registered with CIMA via the AAT accelerated route. They have chosen CIMA as the next step to becoming a business professional as it provides the strategic expertise to succeed in many areas of business and the ability to work across a variety of roles.

To be eligible to enter and sit for the November 2012 exam those interested must have registered as a CIMA student by 31 July 2012.

CIMA has entered into a joint venture with AICPA ( American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) the world’s largest association representing the accounting profession, with nearly 377,000 members in 128 countries and a 125 year heritage. This paves the way for CIMA members to use the prestigious designation of Char t e re d G l o b a l Management Accountant (CGMA) which is rapidly being recognised and sought after by employers globally. The outcome of this joint venture is that when you complete CIMA, you get two designatory letters – ACMA and CGMA.
