IBM and the CMA

Article Abstract:

The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam takes a high priority in the employee career development program of the financial and accounting divisions of IBM Corp. The company carries an all-out sponsorship of CMA as illustrated in the intensive promotion the program gets within the company and IBM's willingness to devote time to for periodic cost analyses and the reassessment of existing review materials to ensure the efficiency of its CMA review programs. Through its Finance and Accounting Education School in New York, IBM offers review classes that utilize audio-video interactive systems under the Corporate Education Network (CENET). Classes under the CENET program run for three weeks. The company also provides CMA reviewees with the option of availing of self-study programs, while adding a CENET-based shorter refresher course a month prior to exams, at the request of reviewees.

Why should I pursue the CMA & CFM?

Article Abstract:

The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified in Financial Management (CFM) designations offer numerous benefits to accountants. Although they do not provide additional rights such as those brought by the Certified Public Accountant designation, the CMA and CFM designations certify that their holders have mastery of the technical aspects of accounting and financial management. They also demonstrate a good knowledge of the basics of information processing, as well as the ability to apply theories to 'real world' situations, conduct financial analysis and use cost accounting techniques. These designations are given to those who have satisfied the experience requirements and passed the CMA and CFM examinations. These examinations are discussed.
