New firm just opened near me and their web site introduces the principal as a qualified chartered accountant and then adds CIMA qualified to management level.
It seems an odd description and I cannot decide if it means that he has a certificate in management accountant issued by CIMA or that he holds an enhanced qualification.
Appreciate any comments.

Sounds like the are being very naughty.
From the info provided it appears they still have the strategic level and case study left to complete to be CIMA qualified.
Practising certificate
If he is qualified to CIMA Management Level, then he has achieved the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting. This not the full CIMA qualification and he cannot call himself a Chartered Management Accountant.
I have the CIMA Advanced Diploma. I have made inquiries with CIMA about going into practice and although they would not grant me a practising certificate because I am not a Chartered Management Accountant, I would be allowed to state that I have the Advanced Diploma.
I was also advised that HMRC would have to be my MLR supervisor and that in all other respects I would have to comply with CIMA's members in practice regulations.
Unless, of course, the individual is a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and is also CIMA part-qualified.
