By preparing for and achieving IMA’s CMA designation, you:

• Join an elite group of professionals who have advanced beyond the practical accounting skill set into operations-focused strategists and decision makers who deploy evaluation, critical thinking, and judgment to help their corporations succeed.
• Confirm your broad business competency and mastery of management-level skills required to maximize value and build quality financial practices into your organization.
• Better position yourself for career advancement and greater earning power: Salary surveys have shown that a certified professional earns approximately 22% more than a non-certified professional (Source: Strategic Finance, June 2004).
• Demonstrate your commitment to continued professional development and to upholding the highest level of professional ethical standards.

Achieve a Valuable Professional Edge.  In today’s business marketplace, increasingly rigorous financial reporting standards and regulations require managerial finance and accounting professionals to be experts in cutting edge industry practices.  The Institute of Management Accountants’ (IMA) Certified Management Accountant (CMA) Program prepares you for that challenge, helping you advance beyond the practical accounting skill set and evolve into a strategic business partner.

Professionals who have earned IMA’s CMA designation are relied upon by businesses around the world not only for accounting, financial, and information management, but for the kind of strategic planning and management necessary to successfully position a company in the changing world of global business.
