Hi Shuaib,
CMA is a person who performs services involving costing, pricing of goods and services, verification or certification of Cost Records and Taxation, especially in Indirect Taxation.
Earlier only Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Companies offered job to CMAs, but in the last few years trends have changed. Now almost all enterprises/ companies show their interest in giving job to CMAs. It has shown in Institutes' campus placement where, apart from PSUs, companies such as ITC, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, Wipro, Ashok Leyland, Ford etc. are regular recruiters.
A management degree in MBA is an academic degree while CMA is a professional designation.
If you are looking for management accounting jobs especially in the manufacturing sector, people do seem to appreciate the CMA qualification.
However, your passion in a particular subject and your caliber for attaining the highest level of specialization, will eventually lead to a phenomenal career path.
I would therefore suggest you to consider your skills and strengths to boost your career plans.
We find CMAs doing jobs as
Manager –
Taxation, Manager
Accounts Manager
Credit etc in many companies. Many CMAs are holding top management positions, viz., Managing Director, Finance Director, Financial Controller, Cost Controller, Chief Internal Auditor, CEO, CFO etc.
Other Employment Ares:
-Maintenance of Cost Records
-Cost Audit
-Audit and other Work
-Value Added Tax
-Central Board of Excise and Customs
-Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)
-Foreign Trade Policy
-Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
-Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT)
-National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL)
For more details, I wish to invite rahulc to share his expertise.
