Please read very important information from IMA.
<i>"We are committed to maintaining the value of your CMA娉the gold standard credential for accountants and financial professionals working in business. As someone who has achieved CMA status and has been dedicated to the principles this certification represents, you will undoubtedly be interested to learn about some new developments in the CMA program. Please note that these changes have no impact on your CMA credential or your annual requirements to maintain active CMA status.
After extensive market research, we are reorganizing the CMA curriculum and exam format to align more closely with the critical knowledge, skills, and competencies that CMAs use on the job every day. The new program will maintain the rigor and relevance for which the CMA is highly regarded. At the same time, we have made evolutionary changes to adapt the program to the needs of today's professionals and ensure its continued value as a career-enhancing tool for CMA candidates.
By focusing specifically on a body of advanced accounting and financial knowledge, the program will now consist of two exam parts providing a more efficient format.
The two parts will consist of four hours each (100 multiple-choice questions and two 30-minute essay questions). The exams will cover the following curriculum topics
<font color="red"><b>PART I â Financial Planning, Performance and Control</b></font id="red">
1)Planning, budgeting, and forecasting
2)Performance measurement
3)Cost management
4)Internal controls
5)Professional ethics
<font color="red"><b>PART II â Financial Decision Making</b></font id="red">
1)Financial statement analysis
2)Corporate finance
3)Decision analysis and risk management
4)Investment decisions
5)Professional ethics
We are confident that this evolution of the CMA program will ensure the credential's continued relevance and prestige in the marketplace.
To learn more about the new CMA program go to www.CMA2010.org or feel free to contact me at (800) 638-4427, ext. 1575 or +1 (201) 573-9000 for international callers"</i>
