CMA syllabus is far more in-depth when it is compared to BCom or MCom. Similarity in the syllabus of B.Com Honours and CMA depends on the major chosen by the candidate in the graduate degree course. CMA does not deal with selective/non-core subjects, including Economics, Marketing, Capital Markets, Statistics, etc. In contrast, CMA course has major accounting subjects, such as Financial Management, Taxation, Law among others.
