ACCA and CIMA are both international qualifications that are globally accepted and highly observed qualifications in Finance and Accounting.
In comparison with CIMA, ACCA is more focused on financial accounting and technical practices of accountancy, it is usually thought that ACCA gives you a stronger grounding in accounting principles than CIMA.
I would recommend ACCA for graduates looking for career primarily in practice, audit or tax with the skill for numbers and compliance, on the other hand I would recommend CIMA for graduates looking for careers primarily in business and industry with a flair of strategy, commercial awareness and good negotiation skills.
