Well,If my memory is correct, at least years ago, Besides financial reporting and taxation, other experience such as financial planning, forecasting and even costing(pricing, STD costing) are accepted by CMA for experience qualification. How about CGA?
On the other side, you are right that once one left the reporting area, it is less likely to come back later. All the respect to the real accountant. Good luck!
