Is Maths harder in ACCA or CIMA training programme?

Is Maths harder in ACCA or CIMA training programme?
I am not that great at Maths plus the last time I studied it was about 15 years ago. I would like to retrain to become an accountant. Which accounting body needs more mathematical knowledge to complete their accounting programme? Do CIMA qualified accountants working in companies deal with more complex maths or the ACCA qualified, the ones that work in practice?

Answer 1 :
CIMA harder.
Answer 2 :
Both use Maths equally although you have to bear in mind it's not really like the maths you did at school - no geometry etc. It's more straightforward so as long as you have a good grasp of figures in general you should be fine.
