IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) wants candidates for the CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) exam to succeed. That’s why IMA offers a special CMA candidate webinar series three times a year, so that experts can share their insights and opinions about what it takes to study for and pass the exam.
So far this year, two of these webinars have already been held: in April and in August. Candidates can listen to recorded versions of these webinars on YouTube. See information below:
