The program is offered in cooperation with the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) as study materials for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) examination. The CMA Learning System is based on the newly revised and updated CMA body of knowledge. While the primary focus of this course is to prepare individuals for the CMA exam, the course will also be an excellent professional development tool for helping individuals advance their career in accounting, finance or business management.

The program begins with a unique online self-assessment readiness tool and combines printed study materials with online, interactive testing and part-specific classroom sessions to deliver a comprehensive and customized learning experience in management accounting.
