The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation in Canada provides a foundation in accounting, management and strategy; using both financial and non-financial information to direct tactical and operational decision-making in industry and government.
Subject matter includes strategy, management accounting, corporate finance, operations management, internal control, financial accounting, statistics and economics, and an emphasis on ethics.
With 50,000 members around the world, CMA Canada grants a professional designation in strategic management accounting and is responsible for standards-setting, accreditation, and the continuing professional development of Certified Management Accountants (CMAs).
In May 2011, Canada's Certified Management Accountants have entered into discussions with Canada's Chartered Accountants to explore the merits and feasibility of uniting Canadian national and provincial organizations. To bring two organizations together, they are considering the creation of a new designation – the Chartered Professional Accountant or CPA – and a new common qualification program.
CMA Canada is a founding member of the International Federation of Accountants.

Famous quotes containing the words certified and/or management:
“Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is still theoretically possible; and as the test of belief is willingness to act, one may say that faith is the readiness to act in a cause the prosperous issue of which is not certified to us in advance.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
