We are the students of BBA- Bachelor of Business Administration. And we are the
ending situation of this degree. So now this is the right time to develop our carrier and
makes it good. Because from this stage we have to focus or select a best option for our
carrier development and for better future. Now we are eight semesters, this is the right
time to think about it. In this semester we are enrolling a course which is Managerial
Account.
For this course we have to submit a report. And our report topic is : Admission process
and job prospect of Chartered Accountants (CA) course and the Institute of
Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB). We select this
topic after completed the graduation degree we need to go our next stage. After complete
graduation there is many option will stand in front of you. But everyone is not perfect for
us and for our career. But CA and CMA course is very good decision after complete
BBA. Because these course is very good and these courses demand is high in job market.
For a BBA students there is no better option rather then it. When we analyzed this topic
we get some information like if any students take this course and make good result that
time his degrees value will be high rather than abroad degree from a good university. For
those reason we select this topic. After the completed this course job is available.A
CMA's role is geared towards assessing business possibilities, grasping opportunities and
shaping the future of organizations. They will have the strategic insight to assess risk and
make vital business decisions based on a robust understanding of the business
environment. Cost and Management Accountants are typically qualified to engage in a
wide variety of business CMAs (Cost and Management Accountants) are forward
looking, unlike traditional accountants who focus on reporting past performance.
