Is CA better than CMA?

Hi, Yes, CA is better than CMA, as CA has wider scope in taxation, account and audit etc. However, in CMA, the major focus is mainly on costing, hence there is limited scope.

There is no much difference between CA (ICAI) and CMA (ICMAI). While pursuing CA, articleship of 3 years is compulsory. CMA offers jobs to gain work experience just after its level-2 exams I.e. CMA-Inter. However, any one can qualify all levels of CMA with minimum gap of one year.
