Financial Qualification Query

[Notshortnottall]

In my current post, I've been able to secure funding for the completion of a financial qualification e.g. CIMA.

Does anyone have an opinion on the most recognised/sought after/recommended qualification to aim for?

I want to make sure I don't end up with a Mickey Mouse piece of paper - instead having something useful in the real world.

For clarity, I will have the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice and therefore gain experience to match.

By "finance", do you specifically mean accountancy? What are your wider circumstances, i.e. current job and future aims?

It's more based around an "Intensive Development" scheme I'm on, that will be elevating me to the realms of large budgetary responsibility (tens of millions).

With this in mind, I was leanign more towards CIMA as it's regarding management accounting, as opposed to the auditing aspect others verge on.

I was interested to hear some thoughts from more learned minds on the subject. Thanks for your input so far.
