Foreword
On behalf of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
(CIMA), I would like to welcome you to our second global part
qualified salary survey. The results in this report will provide you
with an insight into the current employment experiences and career
aspirations of the business leaders of tomorrow – CIMA’s Polish
student base.
Despite ongoing economic instability in many regions around the
world, our report shows a strong relationship between our students
and their employers. Businesses are looking to their professionally-
qualified management accountants to help guide them through the recession and on to
sustainable success. This gives our students a greater sense of job security than those studying
for many other professional qualifications.
Our global survey clearly shows that most of our students believe they are recession-proof.
92% do not anticipate being affected by redundancy in 2010.This response could also reflect
an increasingly optimistic view of the general economic conditions: this percentage is even
higher than the level of confidence felt by students in last year’s survey (83%). Moreover,
nearly two thirds are feeling positive enough to make a job move in the next two years,
although with this feeling of security comes higher expectations. This year, just 51% of
students are happy with their current salary compared with 58% in 2009. The drop could
indicate a greater sense of professional value as the downturn lifts.
In Poland, the average monthly student remuneration package (salary and bonuses) is
PLN13,000. In terms of job security and satisfaction, Polish students provided some of the
most positive results in our survey. A total of 72% said they were either satisfied or extremely
satisfied with their salary - the highest percentage of any country. Almost three-quarters (72%)
felt the same about the benefits they receive - the second highest percentages in the survey.
In terms of benefits, Polish students are among the highest proportion to expect a bonus
(86%). Job security and satisfaction are also remarkably good compared with other countries.
None of those surveyed were worried about redundancy although 38% anticipate a pay freeze.
Our students’ sense of professional value is also reflected in the 69% who intend to change
jobs in the next two years.
Overall, the global survey reinforces the fact that a growing number of students are finding
that CIMA’s professional accountancy qualification is the best way to develop their career
potential. In 2009 we saw a second year of record student growth and, for the first time, a
majority of our new students (56% of the total) were based outside the UK.
Please read through the following pages to find further snapshots of our students’ working lives.
I hope you find it informative reading.

Executive summary
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), growth in 2009 was expected to
decline by close to 5% in the euro zone, and countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and the
Baltics were likely to experience particularly sharp recessions.
Poland has fared relatively better than many countries in the European Union, and despite
a slowdown amid the global economic crisis, recorded 1.7% growth in 2009 compared with
the previous year. As the only member of the EU to have enjoyed growth in 2009, the IMF is
expecting a continued recovery in domestic demand, with the economy expected to expand
by 2.75% in 2010 and 3.25 % in 2011.
The second annual global salary survey of CIMA students was carried out in February 2010.
A total of 2,563 employed students (who had sat an exam within the last two years under
the 2005 CIMA qualification structure) contributed to the survey of which 29 responses
were from Poland. This report summarises the results of this survey with a particular focus
on Poland, looking at how recent economic events are impacting on salary levels and benefit
packages experienced by CIMA students working there. Please note that due to small base
numbers, only indicative results are given for Poland. The results should be viewed with
caution when compared to global averages.
Overview
• The average CIMA student’s monthly salary in Poland is PLN11,760.
• The average bonus across all students is PLN1,240, giving a total monthly remuneration
package of PLN13,000.
• 14% are not expecting to receive an on target earnings bonus in 2010. For those
expecting a bonus, the average is PLN1,290; 13% of their remuneration package.
• 38% of students anticipate a pay freeze in 2010.
• The vast majority are happy with their salary, with nearly three-quarters (72%) extremely
satisfied or satisfied. This is the highest salary satisfaction level of any country, with the
global average being 51%.
• The most highly desired benefits are bonus and private healthcare. The benefits most
likely to be received are healthcare (93%), followed by mobile phone (66%) and bonus
(48%).
• Overall 72% are extremely satisfied or satisfied with the benefits they receive. Again this
is almost the highest level of any country, the global average being 67%.
• Project management (45%), personal development (45%) and leadership (41%) are the
main focus areas for skills development in the next 12 months. Other priorities include
strategic planning and implementation, budgeting, and persuading and influencing,
identified by 31% of respondents.
• Over two-thirds of students (69%) intend to change jobs within the next two years, with
around one-quarter expecting to move jobs within the next year.

Main findings
Salaries and bonuses
The average basic monthly gross salary is PLN11,760 plus a PLN1,240 bonus, producing a
total average package of PLN13,000.
Almost one-quarter (23%) of students in Poland earn the upper salary level of PLN15,000
and over, and approximately one-fifth (19%) earn between PLN12,000 and PLN14,999 per
month. However, almost one-quarter (23%) earn PLN7,999 or less. The remaining 35% earn
between PLN8,000 and PLN11,999.
With 86% expecting a bonus in 2010, Poland is one of the countries with the highest
proportion of students expecting to receive a bonus, along with Malaysia, India, Hong Kong
and Sri Lanka. For those expecting to receive a bonus, it equates to 13% of their package on
average, or PLN1,290.
None of the respondents in Poland expect to be affected by a salary reduction, redundancy
or a shorter working week in 2010. However, 38% of students do anticipate a pay freeze
(close to the global average of 39%).
The overwhelming majority of students (83%) live in Warsaw.
Sector
CIMA is important to the broad base of industry in Poland with the banking, finance and
insurance, accountancy, and ICT, technology and telecoms sectors employing the higher
proportion of CIMA students; 21% each.
Given the low base numbers it is unreliable to make salary comparisons across the sectors.
The majority (83%) work for organisations employing at least 500 staff internationally.
Job role
In terms of fitting into the business, organisational structure is traditional, as 76% of
respondents sit in the finance division. A further 14% reside in operations.
Almost one-quarter of students are employed as finance managers. One-fifth of respondents
describe their role as management accountant, and a further one-fifth are finance/business
analysts demonstrating the strategic nature of student’s roles.
• On average CIMA students monthly salary is PLN11,760
• The average bonus is PLN1,240 across all respondents
• 14% don’t expect to receive an on target earnings bonus in 2010
Polish students are among the highest proportion to expect a bonus (86%).

Recruitment and retention
Satisfaction with salary and benefits
The vast majority are happy with their salary, with nearly three-quarters (72%) extremely
satisfied or satisfied. The same proportion are happy with the level of benefits they receive.
On both accounts Poland is notably more satisfied than average, as global salary satisfaction
is 51%, and satisfaction with benefits is 67%. Only Hong Kong is comparable for benefits
satisfaction levels.
Importance of benefits
As with most other countries, students in Poland attach significant importance to receiving
healthcare and a bonus, considered to be extremely important by 43% and 41% of
respondents respectively. Students also believe a contribution to CIMA fees and study leave
are important benefits.
The least favoured benefits include leisure facilities, mortgage relief and share options, only
considered to be extremely important by just 4%, 7% and 4% respectively.
Importance of benefits (mean score) by benefits received 5 = extremely important & 1 = not at all important
Healthcare and bonuses are highly received benefits in Poland – 93% and 48% of students
receive these respectively. However, while mobile phones are not considered as important,
66% of students receive one. Less than one-fifth (17%) receive a pension. Only 28% benefit
from flexible hours and 31% receive study leave, both of which are regarded as relatively
important benefits. Reassuringly, some 45% of students benefit from contributions to CIMA
fees, the third most important benefit for students and reflects the perceived value of CIMA
qualifications to organisations in Poland.

Geographical mobility
Over two-thirds of students (69%) intend to change jobs within the next two years, with
around one-quarter expecting to move jobs within the next year.
The majority of potential movers (65%) want to stay within Poland for their next position,
which may reflect the relative improved state of the Polish economy as a whole.
Of those who are considering overseas positions, the UK, Australia, the USA and Switzerland
are the most popular destinations.

Technical information
Data collection for the CIMA Global Part Qualified Salary Survey 2010 was carried out
by CIMA itself online during the period 28 January to 14 February 2010. The data was
subsequently rim weighted (by Redshift Research) by country to ensure the profile of the
survey sample accurately represents all CIMA markets.
13,980 CIMA students globally were selected and invited to participate (UK, Ireland, South
Africa, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Hong Kong, Australia, Mainland China, UAE, Botswana,
Pakistan, Russia, Poland and Zambia). A total of 2,563 completed the study globally (18%
response rate), with 29 respondents from Poland. Due to the low base numbers, only basic
survey results are offered in this report. Basic responses were as follows:
For the purposes of this survey CIMA level data was collected under the 2005 CIMA
qualification structure and refers to those at managerial level, strategic level, TOPCIMA
and passed finalists. For comparison under the 2010 qualification structure these levels are
respectively now known as operational/management level, strategic level, T4 Part B Case
Study and exams complete.
