Accreditation and professional recognition
The Monash-CIMA collaboration provides a fast track route to acquire both a Master of Accounting and the Chartered Institute
of Management Accountants (CIMA) professional qualification at the same time. To do this, you just need to choose the three
CIMA pathway units as your electives in Part C (one unit is already a required unit in Part B).
By doing this, you may be eligible for exemptions from all CIMA papers, except the Strategic Case Study. After passing the Strategic Case Study exam, you will only need to submit three years’ practical experience to apply for CIMA membership, and gain both the ACMA and CGMA designations.
