The Kerala government has recognised that state government job eligibility for the Cost Management Accountant (CMA) is equal to  that of Chartered Accountants (CA).

As per Government Order, a pass in the final examination of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India viz, ACMA/FCMA (Associate Cost and Management Accountant/Fellow Cost and Management Accountant) shall be recognized as an equivalent qualification to corresponding membership in Chartered Accountancy (CA) for the purpose of appointment to the posts and service in various Departments/PSUs/Institutions under State Government in the appropriate field.

This decision by the state government will pave the way for CMA practitioners who can now apply for a wide variety of government financial positions that were previously only open to CA certification.
