The annual membership fee for the Institute of Management Accountants, which gives out the CMA designation, is $245.

A Certified Management Accountant (CMA) can complete 100% of the total required CE credits hours via self-study courses. i.e., Certified Management Accountant (CMA) can complete all 20 hours via self-study courses from NASBA approved CE sponsors as myCPE is approved by IMA and NASBA (Sponsor id 143597). Our CMA Packages are 100% compliant with that requirement.

No, the Short video (Nano learning) method is not approved for the CPE requirements of Certified Management Accountant (CMA). AICPA accepts NASBA-sponsored CPE.

When a certified member completes more than 30 hours in a given year, up to ten hours may be carried forward to the next year.

In the event that the required hours of CE are not completed, the CMA becomes delinquent and inactive. An inactive CMA is not considered a CMA until the delinquency is removed, and cannot use the CMA designation.

The period between successful completion and the following January 1 is a grace period. CE is not required during this period, but any CE earned during this period can be counted as being earned in the first reporting period.

CMAs must report the CPE hours they complete each year. However, you do not need to submit supporting documents unless you’re audited. Normally, you can just use the member profile section on the IMA website to organize and record your CPE hours. All courses you take through the IMA itself will automatically show up in that section.

A CMA who is over 55 years of age and retired from the profession of management accounting/ financial management is exempt from the CPE requirements

myCPE provides courses that are approved for continuing education credits by NASBA. Based on the guidelines issued by these boards regarding Continuing Education Requirements, we recommend the programs/ webinars to be suitable for NASBA specified in each webinar. However, it will be the responsibility of each attendee to ensure that they are eligible for the Continuing Education Credits based on their occupation/ job profile, knowledge requirement as well as guidelines laid down by their regulatory board before registering for the webinars.
