The 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 successfully met the entry requirements (see Step 1 and Step 2), candidates progress through the
18-month CMA Professional Program (also known as the CMA 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.
