But to have a closer look we can differentiate between them on the basis of scope, demand, salary in India, job prospects, course, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Scope and Demand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scope of a Chartered Accountant in India is very high. Every firm or organization is required to appoint a CA. It is a mandatory legal requirement to have a CA in your firm. CMAs, on the other hand, are not legal but a business requirement. Hence it is not mandatory to appoint them to every firm. Scope and demand for CMA are comparatively low in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scope of CMA though is on a rise presently. CMA is called the course of the future. After 10-15 years, It is believed that CMAs will be high in demand. CMAs are the only authorized people to perform cost audits in a company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CA VS CMA Salary in India<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average salary for a CMA fresher in India is 5-7 Lakhs per annum.\u00a0 High positions such as CFO (Chief Financial Officer) can earn up to 40Lakhs per annum. The average salary for a fresher in CA is 7 lakhs and can go up to 25 lakhs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Career Prospects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Chartered Accountant focuses on finance, auditing, and taxation.
