The Strategic level is completely focused on strategy and decision making within a management accounting role. It concentrates on gaining the management accounting skills required to operate successfully at strategic management level.

The Test of Professional Competence in Management Accounting (TOPCIMA) is a new and challenging final assessment. It is based upon a real case study and is set within a simulated business context. Those who attain this level will have proven they have an ability to transfer their strategic and practical knowledge to a real-life situation.

Once the Strategic level is complete and you have demonstrated that you have met the practical experience requirements, you will gain your Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) status.

All three-hour papers:
P3 - Management Accounting Risk and Control Strategy
P6 - Management Accounting Business Strategy
P9 - Management Accounting Financial Strategy

You must pass all three Strategic level subjects before you can sit the TOPCIMA.
