In 2006 we launched the current CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting qualification syllabus. All of the Certificate subjects were refreshed and we introduced a new and exciting module covering ethics. In adding ethics to this level in the CIMA qualifications framework, CIMA is signaling the crucial place the topic has in our curriculum and the part ethics plays in being a professionally qualified Chartered Management Accountant. |

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. |

The managerial level is broadly equivalent to a professionally focused relevant degree and consists of 6 papers. By completing it you will develop decision making and management skills, as well as expertise in technical accounting – all skills required to operate effectively as a management accountant. |

Strategic Level |
|
The strategic level has been developed to focus on key strategic issues and business practices. It is broadly equivalent to postgraduate level study and consists of three papers, each building on the content within the relevant pillars at the managerial level. Through these exams, you will develop the top level skills needed to progress your management career. |

It is based upon a case study and set within a simulated business context. By passing this exam you will prove that you have the ability to transfer your strategic and practical knowledge to a real life business situation. The TOPCIMA has no specific syllabus content.
