IMA Holds High Standards for Management Accounting Certification;
 Announces Position on CGMA Designation

IMA® recognizes efforts by AICPA and CIMA to create a new management accounting designation, as this reinforces the critical role management accountants play in today’s competitive global marketplace. However, the absence of proper testing and assessment during the three-year grandfathering period – in which U.S. CPAs who meet basic experience criteria and pay a fee will receive the CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountant) designation – is troubling. Equally concerning is a six-month, free auto-enrollment period in which CPAs who meet the education criteria automatically become CGMAs and are then required to “opt out.”

In contrast, IMA believes the most credible means for certifying competency in management accounting is by studying for and passing a rigorous testing program, combined with an educational and experience requirement. To date, the Institute of Certified Management Accountants (ICMA®), the certification affiliate of IMA, has issued more than 36,000 CMA® certificates to professionals who have earned their credential by passing a rigorous multipart exam.

Backed by 40 years of management accounting innovation and insight from IMA, the CMA credential is today’s most market-relevant assessment of professional accounting and finance career qualifications.

As IMA continues to support the growing field of management accounting, the organization also hopes that all accounting associations keep sight of the ultimate mission to responsibly serve individuals, the profession, and society by assuring the skills of management accountants are verified and fully aligned with the needs and standards of today’s businesses.

In fulfilling its mission of advancing the profession, IMA intends to be a fierce competitor in ensuring that organizational capability is enhanced with properly certified management accounting professionals.

Join the Discussion

IMA members and nonmembers are invited to join an online discussion, “What does it mean to be a management accountant?,” on LinkUp IMA. Tell us what IMA and the CMA mean to you.
