The ACCA Professional Qualification consists of an examination of 13 papers, which will equip the students with skill sets and expertise that can equip them to identify, evaluate, and resolve global industry-centric issues. Moreover, the partnership will also help the students obtain an in-depth understanding of industry-oriented finance and analytical tools, strategies, and management at an international level through intensive training sessions and webinars.
The collaboration with US-Certified Management Accountants (CMA), will enable the University to offer US CMA (Certified Management Accountants), an IMA programme, to its BBA students at the Faculty of Management and Commerce. The students will gain global expertise in critical financial management responsibilities, including planning, budgeting, business reporting, decision analysis, and risk management. US CMA is a globally recognised professional certification awarded by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), which is a credential of high repute in the domains of management accounting and financial management. The certification signifies that the person possesses knowledge in the areas of financial planning, analysis, control, decision support, and professional ethics. Moreover, the programme will provide students with advanced knowledge about current tools, techniques, and strategies that will enable them to identify, evaluate, and resolve industry-centric challenges.
