"Many enterprises are becoming more and more international, so they need to introduce advanced management concepts and experiences in the world today and do a good job in enterprise cost accounting. I believe that IMA's entry into China can help China train management accountants and senior financial management talents that we urgently need. Through the joint efforts of China and the United States, we can promote the further development of management accounting and financial management on a global scale. This is not only conducive to the economic cooperation and development of our two countries, but also conducive to the revival and development of the global economy. "
-Speech by Fu Ziying, Assistant Minister of Commerce, when meeting with Paul Shaman, former CEO of IMA.
China is the most stable growth point of the global economy, with unlimited potential, the best development opportunities and abundant human resources. China's industry is also slowly transforming from basic to high-tech. In the process of this transformation, every professional financial person needs to enrich his knowledge system. This supplement should solve the practical difficulties they encounter in their work. CMA provides them with a broader vision, allowing them to break through the financial constraints, actively contact and understand the business, and provide decision support for enterprises.
-Jeffrey Thomson, President of IMA University
CMA certification tests the professional skills of management accounting and financial management, but we are not testing your language ability, so we just don't want language to be an obstacle for everyone to understand the knowledge and skills of management accounting.
—— Dennis Whitney, Senior Vice President of ——IMA International Certification and Knowledge Integration
CMA talents have become the "hot cake" in the financial market, and the accounting market is facing the dilemma of imbalance between supply and demand of talents. The demand for accounting talents in many large and high-paying enterprises is increasingly biased towards CMA management accounting. Enterprises now need not only accountants who can keep accounts and make reports, but also CMA management talents who can create value for enterprises with their own skills and provide constructive opinions for enterprises. CMA, the American Certified Management Accountant, is the top authoritative certification of global management accounting, and has become the gold standard to measure the management accounting and financial management level of financial personnel. As a rigorous and strict professional evaluation system for financial personnel, CMA has been favored by major central enterprises and multinational enterprises, and has also been widely adopted by fortune 500 enterprises, becoming the main human resource evaluation standard.
Learning to join CMA is a realistic need for the financial requirements of the development of the times. As we all know, in the field of accounting, certificates are essential. For financial personnel, it is timely to learn CMA, adapt to market demand and greatly improve employment competitiveness. With CMA certificate, you have the golden key to open the door to brilliant career development. CMA is becoming more and more influential in China. CMA certificate holders in Chinese mainland hold senior positions in finance and management in the world's top 500 companies such as Motorola, GE, Pepsi and Nike, with an annual salary of 800,000.
Central enterprises spare no effort to train CMA talents. All the central enterprises in China are keen on training CMA talents. Since the implementation of EVA assessment in central enterprises, the evaluation system of central enterprises has undergone essential changes. More and more state-owned enterprise executives deeply feel that traditional financial personnel can't help EVA assessment. They need more management accounting talents who care about the growth of enterprise performance to promote the growth of enterprise performance, and central enterprises take the lead in cultivating CMA talents. For the whole society and all kinds of enterprises, the concept that CMA talents are scarce in management accounting has been deeply implanted. They have extended olive branches and threw themselves at CMA talents in high-paying and higher vocational colleges, but they have never been able to recruit CMA talents. CMA talents are really hard to find in China.
Business recognition
CMA certification program helps us identify those accounting talents with strong professional skills and high professional ethics. Johnson & Johnson Company did not hesitate to invest a lot of money to encourage the financial department employees of 200 companies under Johnson & Johnson to take CMA training and examination, which is an important part of Johnson & Johnson's employee leadership training plan.

"At Microsoft, we are eager to find employees who have both financial skills, strategic thinking ability and high professional ethics. If someone holds CMA certification, we can confirm that he has all the enviable advantages mentioned above. "

CMA certification can help accountants think from different angles. CMA examination not only involves accounting knowledge, but also covers the whole management knowledge system, especially helps the management to make decision and analysis, which can play a very good guiding role. This is why Caterpillar supports employees to obtain CMA certification.
