The IMA (Institute of Managerial Accountants) recently announced a new certification opportunity coming in 2024, the FMAA (Financial and Managerial Accounting Associate) Certification. Registration will open January 2024.
The FMAA will cover foundational knowledge from both finance and accounting topics. The five main content "domains" mentioned are:
1. General Accounting & Finance Management (25%)
2. Financial Statement Preparation & Analysis (25%)
3. Planning & Budgeting (20%)
4. Cost Management & Performance Metrics (20%)
5. Professional Ethics (10%)
More information on the opportunity is given in the link attached to this post, just click on "Visit Website" at the bottom. It is also mentioned this is "the perfect entry point into the accounting and finance professions," specifically since it does not have any eligibility requirements like the CPA exam's, so it is especially unique for this openness. We wanted to pass this information on and encourage all to see if this interests you or your goals!
Good luck to all on finals!
