CMAs, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

摘要

It's a given that the CMA~® (Certified Management Accountant) designation provides its holders the necessary competencies and mind-set to add value to organizations, whether by designing and implementing system improvements to streamline processes, building better reporting frameworks, or helping management map out strategic objectives. While these competencies and skills certainly add value for both CMAs and the organizations employing them, management accountants can also help improve business performance in other areas. Financial planning and reporting, core components of the CMA body of knowledge and market expectations for financial professionals, are excellent starting points for those seeking a more strategic role.
