CMA Professional Program
 

Target candidate: University graduates from all disciplines with an interest in accounting and who aspire to senior-management and executive positions in the private, public, and non-for-profit sectors.

Having  met the entry requirements, candidates progress through the 18-month CMA Professional Program (also known as the Strategic Leadership Program) concurrent with full-time employment.

This dynamic program explores and applies the practices that innovative enterprises adopt to succeed in a competitive global environment.

The program allows candidates to develop six functional competencies and four enabling competencies, as follows:

Functional Competencies

Enabling Competencies

• Strategic management
• Risk management and governance
• Performance management
• Performance measurement
• Financial management
• Financial reporting

• Problem solving and decision making
• Leadership and group dynamics
• Professionalism and ethical behaviour
• Communication

At the heart of the program is a series of interactive sessions that allow candidates to exchange views and experiences on program concepts under the guidance of experienced moderators. Each of the program modules includes an intense two-day interactive session. Candidates also complete a series of individual and group projects applying these concepts to their own organizations.

Complementary to the integrated format of the CMA Professional Program, students are required to be simultaneously employed in a role within the broad territory of management accounting during their course of studies.
