CIMA OR ACCA?

[David Hussey]

I plan to do ACCA, but is ACCA more recognized than CIMA or the other way around?

I'd suggest you go for CIMA, and then after completing CIMA, you can easily pursue ACCA qualification because you'd be exempted all 9 papers (F1 to F9) so you'd just have to give the professional papers (P1 to P5). The benefits of doing CIMA are that you'd be awarded ICAEW (world largest chartered accountancy body) certificate which would grant you a status of Chartered accountant of England and Wales.
You can also get a degree from university of Manchester once you complete your CIMA, again by giving a single paper. That degree would be either for sustainable management or Business management.
CIMA is also highly recognized, unfortunately that is not the case in third world or developing countries and therefore the employers do not know the essence of CIMA qualified individual. But after completing CIMA, you can easily find jobs in Australia, Canada, Germany or US.

ACCA of course! But in the upcoming years, till the time you'd be done with CIMA, it'd attain it's recognition as well.
