Unlike chartered accountants, chartered management accountants are specialists in the provision of information to managers in all kinds of business organisations.

Because CIMA is not merely a financial qualification, our students come from a wide range of backgrounds. Of our existing students, only half have a business or financial qualification; the rest come from a variety of social sciences, language, science or engineering courses. Graduates of business or accountancy disciplines may be awarded exemptions from complete stages and/or exam papers.
Details of exemptions available to certificate, diploma and degree holders may be viewed on our website at www.cimaglobal.com/exemptions. There is also a mature student route into CIMA.
