Upcoming Testing Windows

There are three CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) exam testing windows in 2020:

  • January/February 2020. The last day to register for this testing window is February 15; the last exam date is February 29.

The CMA exam changed on January 1, 2020, with the following new content:

  • Fifteen percent of Part 1 features a “Technology and Analytics” section. Part 1 is now titled “Financial Planning, Performance, and Analytics” and includes content focusing on external financial reporting decisions, planning, budgeting and forecasting, performance and cost management, internal controls, and technology and analytics. 
  • The revisions to Part 2 include a greater emphasis on ethics and strategic decision making. Part 2 is now titled “Strategic Financial Management” and includes content on financial statement analysis, corporate finance, risk management, investment decisions, decision analysis, and ethics.

Please note: Candidates who did not finish both exam parts of the previous exam program by the end of December 2019 do not need to retake those parts passed. They also do not have to repay the CMA entrance fee. For more information, please visit CMA certification. 

If you are in the CMA program but have not yet registered to sit for an exam, be sure to sign up.
