To add to the credibility for Indian candidates, IMA has a MoU with the Institute of Cost Accountants of India, formerly ICWAI, where IMA and ICWAI mutually recognize each other’s members. With our market leadership in India for CPA training, our foray into CMA training as official partners of IMA & Wiley only reinforces our position as the leading provider of high-quality classroom training in India for US professional certifications in accounting and finance. Both the CPA and CMA courses have roadmaps of less than a year and our team of CPA and CMA instructor’s train and guide Indian aspirants to successfully earn these globally recognized designations.”

“IMA is the leading resource for developing, certifying, connecting, and supporting the world’s best accountants and financial professionals in business.  It not only provides best-in-class knowledge and certification, it supports career development through professional community connect, continuing education and resources. IMA supports members with highest ethical standards for internal financial management practices,” said Mr. Atul Kumar Agarwal, Member of Board of Directors. IMA.

IMA is the worldwide association of accountants and financial professionals working in business. With over 70,000 members and nearly 300 Chapters worldwide, IMA is committed not only to provide networking opportunities to its members, but also to expand their professional skills and enhance their careers. With increasing demand for the CMA certification in India, IMA will not set up chapters in India.

The local IMA chapters would contribute significantly to the management accounting profession. The chapters will work towards establishment of university and student level programs and conducting seminars and events for professional and corporates.
