As many as 85% of accountants today work inside organizations, where expertise in decision support, planning, and control over value-adding operations are crucial elements of operational success. In earning the CMA/CFM, you will have mastered a comprehensive body of knowledge directly related to operational and strategic management as well as the skills and abilities required to build quality business practices inside organizations.

The CMA Program has four objectives:

• To establish management accounting as a recognized profession by identifying the role of the management accountant and financial manager, the underlying body of knowledge, and a course of study by which such knowledge is acquired;
• To encourage higher educational standards in the management accounting field;
• To establish an objective measure of an individual’s knowledge and competence in the field of management accounting; and
• To encourage continued professional development by management accountants.
