as a german i am a bit confused with all the short expressions for qualifications required in job ads for finance.

is there anybody who can tell me the meanings of CPA, CA, ACA, ACCA and CIMA and what is behind this qualification ?

any response is welcome

Hi Marcus,

Don't know if, as a German, you read dutch, but at least the definitions are in English. This may help not only you but also any other readers of this forum. I think this is the best list of acronyms in Singapore
