CIMA is future focused.

Structured into three levels and threaded by a framework of three pillars, CIMA’s CGMA Professional Qualification develops technical expertise and leadership capability.

The three pillars — Enterprise, Performance, and Financial — represent specific areas of knowledge.

  • Enterprise Pillar focuses on how to articulate a vision — managing the finance function in a digital world; managing performance through people and projects; strategic management.
  • Performance Pillar focuses on how to make the vision a reality in management accounting, advanced management accounting, and risk management.
  • Financial Pillar focuses on how to communicate and report on the vision through financial reporting, advanced financial reporting, and financial strategy.

The three pillars are interwoven in the three levels of the CGMA syllabus, which is designed for you to learn how to apply ethics, integrity, and professionalism with advanced technical, people, business, leadership, and digital skills.

  • Operational Level: CGMA students learn the particulars of management accounting and financial reporting.
  • Management Level: CGMA students dive into performance management, advanced management accounting, and financial reporting.
  • Strategic Level: CGMA students delve into strategic management, risk management, and financial strategy.

When you study with CIMA, you have support.

As a CIMA student, you receive study support — at every level — from our team and a cohort of your peers.

Upon passing the Strategic Level Case Study Exam, you submit practical experience requirements and become a CIMA member. And with CIMA membership, you gain access to a global network and wealth of resources to support your role as a management accountant and finance business partner.

CGMA professionals have essential accounting, finance, and business-related skills and are ready to lead in a tech-driven economy.
