The all-new program that qualifies you for the globally recognised Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation.

We have redeveloped the CMA program to make it even better. The program is now streamlined and focused on issues relevant to hands-on business analysts and financial management practitioners. We have added new materials on topics such as business valuation, risk management and lean operations and embedded extra opportunities for participants to practice the material being taught.

Our aim is to assist participants to be better equipped at providing decision-oriented information and financial analysis in a business or government environment. A range of case studies and practical exercises bring the theory to life and make the program a stimulating and enjoyable experience.

CMA PROGRAM 

The programme is not designed as one in which highly structured methods and rules are applied to various topics in order to find one "correct" solution or answer for problems or issues. Rather, it is more a possibilities quest, in which various controversial conceptual and practical issues will be reviewed and analysed, with due recognition to the reality of alternative value judgements. Given the history of recent developments in the profession and business practices, this approach to the study of the subject of management accounting and business analysis is considered feasible and warranted.

The CMA Program consists of two post-graduate level courses, namely: Strategic Cost Management and Strategic Business Analysis.
