CMA (Certified Management Accountant)

Globalization and standardization, combined with more stringent financial reporting requirements, have resulted in a dramatic change in the practice, rules, regulations, ethics, and execution of managerial accounting and financial strategy in all areas of an organization.

The CMA is the globally recognized, advanced-level credential for accountants and financial professionals.
