This is only of interest to those CIMA people who wanted to convert to ACCA. A route to Chartered Certified that many have taken in the past.
Traditionally the two bodies regarded each other as equals but from the start of January it transpires that ACCA will no longer accept CIMA membership in order to transfer directly to ACCA membership.
According to PQ magazine CIMA members will now get exemptions from some equivalent fundamentals papers.
That would pretty much put CIMA on the same exemptions footing as people coming from IAB or AAT.
who said that there wouldn't be repurcussions for CIMA leaving the party! (Referring to CIMA's exit from CCAB in March).

AICPA/CIMA actually struck me as a really strange match.
On a linked note I was actually looking at the price of houses over in the states and it really does make a move over to the colonies seem quite tempting. (we just let them think that they won the war of independance, and have you noticed that their attemted invasion of England in 1777 seems to have been erased from almost all history books!)
Had my heart set on retiring to North East Thailand (Isaan) but their prices seem to be heading in the other direction largely due to so many Chinese expanding their manufacturing empires there.
Anyway, before I go completely off Piste here's wishing you a very happy and prosperous new year to you as well,
kindest regards,
Shaun.
