Overview

The Chartered Global Management Accountant is the most widely held management accounting designation in the world with more than 137,000 holders. It distinguishes a unique group of professionals who have advanced proficiency in finance, operations, strategy and management and is underpinned by extensive global research to maintain the highest relevance with employers, and develop competencies most in demand.
Two of the world’s leading accountancy bodies – the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants – launched the Chartered Management Accountant designation in 2012 to meet growing employer demand for finance professionals with an expanded skillset.

There are two pathways to becoming a CGMA designation holder, each with education, experience and assessments designed to build on your existing knowledge and career achievements:
Those who live in North America, Central America or South America would obtain the CGMA through the AICPA Pathway.
