FYI, I am going to do one of the fast track programs (already have a degree in International Business, but I want a future proof designation).

Also, I know there are some political issues between the accounting designations, if possible can we keep those out.

Thanks!
Actually there are discussions/talks of the CAs and CMAs merging to become one accounting body/designation. What type of position are you looking for or are in? Public practice/industry/government? Not many CMAs in public practice, but a lot of CAs are.
