Course Overview
The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification portrays one’s expertise in the field of management accounting and its guidelines. It enables managers with the competency of enhancing the company’s execution.
It is an advanced professional certification that demonstrates crucial financial and accounting management skills that are required by current versatile organizations and therefore opens the pathway towards multiple career opportunities.
Part 1 of the CMA certification is focused on costing and management accounting. Although it starts from external financial reporting, however, 4 out of 6 topical sections are focused on costing or management accounting areas. It also gives you a nice little flavor of internal controls too.
Prerequisites
In addition to joining IMA, you will need to enroll in the CMA program. Joining this program will require you to pay an enrollment fee (based on your membership type) to the ICMA. Aside from writing the CMA exam, the ICMA grades the exam, generates your score reports, notifies your employer once you’ve completed the program (if requested), and provides you with a personalized, numbered certification upon the completion of the program.
After you join the CMA program, you will have three years to complete both parts of the CMA exam. If you do not complete the CMA exam, you will need to enroll in the CMA program and pay the fee again.
