I have seen a lot of videos for a lot of different industries, jobs, and certifications.
I have noticed that, it's not just 1 certification that matters only.
It's a collection of certificates that get you to get payed very well and allow you to be respected.
The most important sectors in all of these high tier certifications; CMA, CPA, CIA, PMP etc.

Ethics, compliance, document authentication, and for some reason even project managers need auditing.

In conclusion, to build your resume, it looks like getting these specific/general cert. Are a great deal.

NOTARY PUBLIC
Certified Fraud Examiner(CFE),
Compliance cert.
Leadership professional in ethics cert.

I probably have not be exposed to every certificate, but i have looked at hundreds of high level positions in finance, accounting, PM, and others, and these are required!

How good it is when we take CIA after completing CMA US, Will it opens more job opportunities and hike in salary ?

[realskepticalstoic]

Parts 1 and 2 of the CIA exams are 2 hours each and not 1 hour.

[jyothraj]

Can you suggest a course as an alternative for CFA in investments side?

[LeeTF]

When you say the median salary for accountants is around 77k are you referring to CPA’s or bachelors degree

"...Only globally récognised management accounting certification..." This is a lie sir. CIMA is an option if you are not in the USA.

[xosultxn]

Hey sir, I’m currently in my last year majoring in accounting, but I want to get into finance and my goal is to do CFA. My university didn’t have an option for finance and I had to go with accounting and now I’m confused if I should do CMA so that I get some knowledge of finance along with perfecting my accounting knowledge or should I just go with CFA? I can save my time spent in CMA and study for CFA, please guide me
