initially CMA don't have practical training. But CA having mandatory 3 years training.
Thats the reason CMA undervalued.

Worldwide Cost and Management Accountancy is the most preferred accountancy qualification. example CIMA, but In India Financial Accountant in more preferable than Management Accountant.

When talking about finance profession in India, Chartered Accountant seems to be most preferred person unless we consider an IIM dude. But there is one more course in accounting and finance and that is Cost and management accountant. A close look at the course structure and syllabus of CMA shows that it is not less than CA in any manner. Infact, it gives you something more into finance and a CMA can handle the finance function better than CA. But seeing the Industry acceptance it seems it is under valued? Please share your views on the same. |
An institute should also market itself. ICAI is really good in marketing itself and you hear the word CA from your collegues and friends more than the word CMA. CA is said to open more gates than CMA and hence the most preferred choice.

I wouldn't think it is undervalued. Your experience with a job or personalized situation may have you thinking that way.
