CMA/CFM

The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and the Certified in Financial Management (CFM) Programs have been designed to recognize the unique qualifications and expertise of those professionals engaged in management accounting and financial management. These certifications provide distinction in today's economic climate and afford the opportunity to certify your expertise in the business areas that are critical to the decision-making process.

The Certification Programs have four objectives:

	To establish management accounting and financial management as recognized professions by identifying the role of the professional, 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 and financial management fields;
	To establish an objective measure of an individual's knowledge and competence in the fields of management accounting and financial management; and
	To encourage continued professional development.

Review

The NC Triangle Area Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants is offering NEW  CMA/CFM  review courses that have been developed and is being run by Bruce Pounder, the Education Director for the Carolina Council.  This is a new tool that I think you will find extremely useful in preparing for the exam.  It is an interactive webcast.  By that I mean you have a website to go to for visual slides, but the class is conducted over the phone through a conference call where you can ask questions as you go through the material.
