STRATEGIC LEVEL

CERTIFICATE LEVEL

The CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting is the entry route into the CIMA course and the broader CIMA Professional Qualification. Designed for students with little or no accounting experience, this level helps learners obtain their true business potential. Covering core business and finance skills beyond basic financial accounting, the Cert BA syllabus equips students with essential knowledge in management, economics, and financial principles. This foundation ensures that learners develop the confidence and competence to excel in the rest of their upcoming CIMA levels, preparing them for practical challenges in the business and finance world.

OPERATIONAL LEVEL

The Operational level focuses on short-term planning and the implementation of decisions. Candidates collaborate within their organizations and use relevant data and technology to turn medium-term strategies into actionable short-term plans. Students also learn to manage day-to-day operations, apply internal controls, and interpret financial reports effectively. Upon successful completion, students earn the CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting (CIMA Dip MA), an essential milestone in their CIMA course journey and a critical step, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to organizational performance.

MANAGEMENT LEVEL

The Management level focuses on translating long-term decisions into medium-term plans. Candidates learn to use data and relevant technology to manage organizational and individual performance, allocate resources, monitor implementation, as well as prepare and interpret financial statements. This level also emphasizes strategic thinking, risk management, and leadership skills to ensure successful execution of business strategies. On completion, students receive the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting (CIMA Adv Dip MA), a significant achievement when undertaking their CIMA courses and for those pursuing CIMA in Sri Lanka, positioning them for advanced roles in finance and management.

STRATEGIC LEVEL

The Strategic level focuses on long-term strategic decision-making and leadership. Candidates work closely with organisational leaders to craft and implement strategy, evaluate and manage risks, assess organisational value, and secure the necessary financial resources to achieve strategic objectives. This level also emphasizes critical thinking, corporate governance, and ethical decision-making, preparing students to handle complex business challenges at the senior management level. Upon successful completion of the practical experience requirements, students are admitted to associate membership and awarded the Associate Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) and Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designations. This course positions them for top-tier roles in finance and strategic leadership.

Management Case Study (CSEP Pathway) – Feb 2021
After completing my Master’s degree joined with Nanska Institute for OCS classes as the very first step of my CIMA journey. It was an amazing experience for me to see how the lecturers of Nanska helped the students to go through the exams successfully by adhering to various online platforms like online classes, mock exams and via Nanska website enriched with high quality study materials. I shall be very much thankful to the lecturers of Nanska Institute, especially to Mr. Channa Gunawardana & Mr. Mark Gunathilaka for their painstaking effort to improve the knowledge & for the motivation extended throughout. It is due to their invaluable effort I was able to attain the goal while being a full time banker. This endeavour is highly appreciated.

Operational Case Study – Feb 2021
Studying through an online platform was a first time experience for me, NANASKA’s teaching methodology and the resources they provide to get me thinking in the right direction were the key attributes that contributed to my success. Coming into the CIMA program from the C-SEP route I had to learn the basics as well whilst preparing for the Case Study, Channa’s TEAM managed to make this a simpler task than I expected. Some of the facilities that I found interesting and value adding were the personal attention, any time any place video availability, and the online mocks."
