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 stages.
Overview[edit]
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][4] The CGMA designation is specifically for certified public accountants specializing in management accounting.[5]
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. [6]
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:[7]
Those who live in North America, Central America or South America would obtain the CGMA through the AICPA Pathway. [8] Those who live in Europe, the Middle East, Asia/Pacific or Africa would obtain the CGMA through the CIMA Pathway. [9]
