Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) is a professional management accounting designation issued beginning in January 2012.[1] The Chartered Global Management Accountant's mission is to promote the science of management accounting on global stage.
Overview
[edit | edit source]The Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) is the most widely held management accounting designation in the world with more than 137,000 holders.[2] It recognizes professionals who have advanced proficiency in finance, operations, strategy and management and is underpinned by global research to maintain relevance with employers, and develop competencies most in demand.[3] The CGMA designation is specifically for certified public accountants specializing in management accounting.[4]
Two of the world's leading accountancy bodies – the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) – launched the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation in 2012 to meet growing employer demand for finance professionals with an expanded skillset.[5]
There are two pathways to becoming a CGMA designation holder, each with education, experience and assessments designed to build on your existing knowledge and career achievements:[6]
Those who live in North America, Central America or South America would obtain the CGMA through the AICPA Pathway.[7] Those who live in Europe, Asia (including the Middle East, and the Pacific), or Africa would obtain the CGMA through the CIMA Pathway.[8]
