The CGMA Is Coming to Accountants Near You, January 31st

by Caleb Newquist

If you’ve completely spaced it, the Chartered Global Management Accountant is a new credential that will be jointly offered by the AICPA and the CIMA.

Right! And we can think of at least one operation that is looking for immediate help.
