Expand your professional horizons in the world of finance and accounting! A recent salary survey found that an accountant with certification earns 27% more than a non-certified professional.

The CMA credential is highly recommended for management accounting and finance professionals who work inside organizations where expertise in decision support, planning, and control over value-creating operations is a crucial element of operational success.

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 an organization in the changing world of global business.

By earning the CMA credential, you will demonstrate both technical competencies and an understanding of the linkage between strategy and financial performance, grounded in a firm commitment to upholding strict professional ethical standards.
