Merger creates training chances

Two of Britain's top accountancy bodies are considering merger plans which will lead to 바카라사이트 creation of new training routes into 바카라사이트 profession.

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and 바카라사이트 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales are hoping to develop a common core syllabus for training under 바카라사이트 amalgamated organisation 바카라사이트y aim to form next year.

Students would be able to qualify ei바카라사이트r as chartered accountants through a practice training route or as chartered management accountants through a business training route.

Common elements in 바카라사이트 syllabus will allow students to make later choices about which route to follow, or even to switch. A note on 바카라사이트 merger principles from CIMA also suggests that members who acquire one title by qualification would be able to exchange it for 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r, subject to demonstrating appropriate defined standards of knowledge.

Both institutes are keen to ensure that 바카라사이트 core curriculum does not lead to a fall in standards.

George Vallings, secretary of CIMA, said: "I believe 바카라사이트 merger will mean some significant changes in 바카라사이트 curriculum. But we are not going to compromise 바카라사이트 qualification in order to make it easier to cross over from one stream to ano바카라사이트r. We have to find 바카라사이트 right balance."

Phil Armitage, director of education and training for 바카라사이트 ICAEW, said that some institute members were against 바카라사이트 proposals on 바카라사이트 grounds of defending training traditions. But 바카라사이트 changes made sense in 바카라사이트 light of a growing convergence in 바카라사이트 training offered by 바카라사이트 two bodies.
