Egbert Cayanga

Professionals have to reinvent themselves multiple times throughout their career, not too late for a 40+ like me. The CMA program is a must-do, joining the 53rd batch is the best decision I made since the start of the pandemic. Thank you so much for a great learning experience.

PhilHealth / PRO2 – LHIO Cauayan

The CMA provides a great venue to upgrade your traditional accounting skills and knowledge. Lots of learning and exchange of ideas using practical cases. It empowers you to change your mindset and think more strategically and definitely helps you to become a relevant “management” accountant who can provide more meaningful insights to the organization!

Arnel Casauay
GFSS Transformation Lead

The program in itself is already rewarding. Much more, I am already looking forward to the day I can officially attach the title CMA after my name. All the learnings from Sir Arnel and Sir Lito are totally relevant to my current position, and definitely aligned with my career path. My interaction with the 2 teams I was a part of is a fun eye-opening journey. I have learned a lot as well from my teammates.

Christian Rey Sualog
Finance Head and Controller

I’m grateful I took my courage and challenged myself to take the CMA program even in these trying times. I apprised myself of the current business trends during discussions. I rediscovered the tools and techniques I can recommend applying to our organization. Also, it reminded me of the significance of integrating the systems and business processes, and collaborating with all the stakeholders are the key drivers in business stability and continuity. Attending the CMA course program has helped me gain relevant insights and understand different business perspectives in relation to the usefulness of Management Accounting, not just by computing for numbers, but by bringing value and staying relevant.

CMA helps me gain a lot of additional knowledge on the different kinds of businesses thru our mentors and teammates, they help me widen my understanding by sharing our experiences in our respective companies where we are currently working for. I must remember now that the treasure and a key to success of the business is the STT (System, Teamwork and Track records)

Loren Domingo

The CMA program offered a lot of new learnings for me that could clearly be applied to my work. It is very comprehensive and the instructors were good at relating CMA theories to real life scenarios that helped us relate more. It was very accessible which greatly helped people who are not comfortable going out during this period as it is still the pandemic.

Easter Ruzella Raviz
Group Financial Controller

I really enjoyed and learned a lot in the program that will surely be helpful in my work to help companies achieve organizational objectives.

Samantha Faye Bobadilla

Prof. Arnel and Prof. Lito has generously shared their wisdom and expertise in both SBA and SCM and much more.

Ariel Solamillo
Financial Controller

Over-all, I strongly believe that the objectives of the course were successfully met. The virtual classes combining theory, case studies and live sharing activities are effective given the current setting. The case studies not only enabled knowledge sharing but also professional (and even personal) networking. There are just some instances where in some cases groupmates were not so cooperative but I was lucky to be part of another group who truly embodies knowledge sharing, teamwork and technical competency. Thus, I gained a lot from our knowledge sharing sessions. Participating in CMA Batch 51 perfectly complemented my work experience so I can put more structure in my current and future ways of working. Also, I can say that I now have a more in-depth understanding of relevant and critical business concepts that will be useful in my chosen profession.

Anne Margreth B. Sabiniano
Finance Manager

I also got a chance to meet professionals from different industries which helped me understand different business insights. I am really excited to apply my learnings where God leads me…..

CMA is a program that will definitely enhance the expertise of an accountant not just for merely computing and analyzing financial reports but to significantly assist the board and the management on the strategic direction of the company.

May S. Dawat
Chief Executive Officer

Having CMA in my portfolio is a competitive advantage. It’s my courtesy to CMA-Philippines who provided exposures and updates on ways to effective and efficient business management strategies. More power to the Institute of Certified Management Accountants.

Christine Yong
Sr. Accounting Manager

Truly there’s no excuse to stop our learning, in this program it helps me to expand my insights and perspective not only as an accountant in the corporate world, but also building my shareholder’s mind in the business world. The speaker/professor helped me realize that having a certification shouldn’t be your goal, but instead as a human being you should always think what can you do to make things better? or how can you contribute to improving a certain situation? not only in our corporate life but in our real life as well.

Maridel N. Ramirez
Financial Reporting Manager

This is CMA training doesn’t just prepare the candidate for the CMA exams but also equip the candidate with knowledge and insights that can be applied to our daily work

Reynaldo V. Meneses, Jr.
Financial Controller

I highly recommend this CMA program! It turns me into a confident person from a very shy person by interacting with different individuals from different levels and industries that I knew I can treasure and rely on even after this program. My usual financial or traditional reporting will not be the same again as I will apply all the learnings I’ve gained from this program.

Joana Michelle de Guzman
Financial Consultant

CMA program provides a good balance of financial and non-financial information that is both relevant to the growth of a company. The session gives us an insightful view of what are the other aspects that are important other than the usual numbers and figures that we have in our financial reporting. It’s an avenue to think beyond the box and create more value for the company as an employee and part of the management team.
