It helps me to develop my strategic thinking to see the big picture and learn to develop a long-term plan for a business.

Ma. Rodessa R. Burgos
Senior VP

The CMA Program empowered our accounting knowledge and practices by the business insights shared by the facilitators. It built confidence on how we can handle crucial business decisions in companies/institutions that we belong to. We are no longer working just by numbers but we learn how to interpret, analyze, conclude and recommend wise decisions. The best part of this program is working with groupmates representing different companies/institutions for our case studies where we share insights and experiences. It is not only knowledge that we gained from the program but also the network and friendship.

Lailanie Llave Moral
Director for Treasury

Great experience and best platform to network with peers from different organizations.

Marjorie Lumba
Treasury Manager

As a CMA batch 57 delegate, I was given the opportunity to meet several professionals from different industries. We’re able to share ideas, capture new learnings from our colleagues’ actual experiences in their field of work and we have managed to overcome heated discussions as to what would be our final answers to each case. If I would be given a chance, I wanted to work closely with Sir Lito and Sir Arnel because these two are indeed experts in the field of management accounting. Ms. Liza as the student facilitator is so welcoming and always open for queries. This team makes the CMA learning fun and easy! My only regret for this entire session is that I wasn’t able to attend F2F specially during graduation. But I am still hoping to meet my team-mates and my CMA teachers in the future. See yah soon! -Cat 😉
