The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential is an advanced professional certification that demonstrates your command of the critical accounting and financial management skills demanded by today’s international businesses. Like the CFA for the banking industry and the CPA for auditing companies, the CMA sets a standard for professionalism in its field management accounting. In the last 40 years more than 30,000 professionals worldwide have earned this essential credential.

The CMA is offered and developed by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), the worldwide association for accountants and financial professionals working in business. IMA has more than 60,000 members worldwide and is committed to expand your professional skills, better manage your organization, and enhance your career.

The Controller Institut has established an exclusive partnership with IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) to form IMA’s sixth European chapter in Austria.

The CMA exams are computer-based tests that are administered in independent testing facilities in Vienna. The exam has two parts, one focusing on „Financial Planning, Performance and Control“, the other on „Financial Decision Making“. Every part is covered by elaborate study materials. The exam is demanding and challenging: more than half of candidates do not succeed on the first attempt.

The experienced trainers give an overview of all relevant exam areas and concentrate on problem solving techniques and test questions. The IMA recommends a minimum of 200 hours of preparation per level.
