Certified Management Accountant (CMA USA)
The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) is the highest level of certification in management accounting awarded by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) USA.
IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) is the worldwide association of accountants and financial professionals in business. Founded in 1919, IT IS one of the largest and most respected associations focused exclusively on advancing the management accounting profession. IMA committed to empowering our 100,000+ members — and those throughout the rest of the profession to strengthen on-the-job skills, better manage companies, and accelerate careers. We invite our members to discover the myriad possibilities within the profession and build an actionable future in management accounting.
The Certified Management Accountant designation ranks as a fast-growing credential around the world.
CMA status is considered one of the highest forms of professional certification in the corporate accounting world.
Yet, becoming a Certified Management Accountant requires a considerable commitment of time, academic study and real-world experience as a candidate. In order to earn their designation, CMAs must work and complete their training simultaneously.
