Your Consulting CMA:
A Qualified Business Professional
Today’s fast-paced, fiercely competitive
business environment leaves little margin for
error or indecision. A consulting CMA brings
you a seasoned professional equipped with
years of specialized training and business
experience. A CMA is trained to provide solid
strategic advice, sound business
management and decisive leadership.
The CMA designation signifies a qualified
business professional whose training
includes:

A rigorous accreditation process that
involves:
- a university degree
- a national professional examination
- participation in a two-year Strategic
Leadership Program

A demonstrated ability to apply
contemporary business theories and
concepts to your business needs

A commitment to ongoing professional
learning and development, to keep ahead
of changes that affect your business.
The Society of Management Accountants
of Ontario
CMAs are members of the Society of
Management Accountants of Ontario. With
18,000 members across the province, it is the
only professional accounting body solely
dedicated to the development of management
accounting practices. It grants exclusive
rights to the CMA designation and binds all
members to a strict Code of Professional
Ethics.

The Code of Professional Ethics reflects
CMA Canada’s belief that protection of the
public interest is of paramount importance.
It requires all members to uphold the highest
standards of ethical conduct and follow fair
and honest business practices in dealings
with their clients. It also requires members
preparing financial statements and doing tax
preparation work to hold professional liability
insurance. The Society deals promptly and
rigorously with complaints from the public.
