Application and Fees Welcome to a winning academic opportunity that enables you to become a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) while earning your MBA at the University of Ottawa through the Telfer School of Management. This dual accomplishment was made possible in March, 2008. The courses required to become a CMA are included in the Executive Master of Business Administration syllabus and meet the CMA designation’s high accreditation standards. It is now possible to pursue the CMA designation while earning your 36-month part-time MBA degree – eliminating the need for you to do the two year, part-time CMA Strategic Leadership Program. How Do You Benefit? Marketability for senior level positions dramatically increases with a professional accounting designation, a fact confirmed through a survey of job placement ads for accounting and senior management positions placed in several Ontario newspapers. Our findings confirmed that 85% of them sought candidates with a professional accounting designation. CMAs are active in virtually every aspect of business operations. As leaders in management accounting, our expertise is grounded in three pillars of foundational knowledge: accounting, management and strategy. Our capacity to independently focus on each element or, alternatively, to amalgamate information from all three, is becoming increasingly relevant to today’s business environment. Our ability to breathe life into numbers by understanding their implications and making strategic decisions based on them, adds tremendous value to any department of any business. Many CEOs and CFOs are CMAs whose abilities as articulate communicators, team players, creative thinkers and problem solvers make them outstanding at what they do. Our expertise is our approach that reinforces practical application in real world situations. Newly-certified CMAs hit the ground running and quickly find employment opportunities in any number of fields.
