Greetings, aspirant!

The CMA course is offered by Institute of Management Accountants, USA, the worldwide association of accountants and professionals with a finance background.

This course is recognised by most MNCs and Institutions throughout the world. The course is about a year long and consists of 2 papers. The maximum duration granted by the IMA once a candidate registers is 3 years.

The eligibility criteria to apply for the course is:-

• Candidate should have a bachelor's degree from a recognised university
• A minimum 2 years of work experience as a management accountant or equivalent post of financial background.

The salary of a CMA in India would be around 4-6LPA for a fresher. This salary would go up as one's experience does.

One of the differences between US CMA and Indian CMA is the duration which is about 6m-1y for US CMA while it is 3-4y for Indian CMA. Another difference is the recognition they receive, which is global for US CMA whereas it is national to Indian CMA.

Hope this information helps

Best of luck!!
