The CMA program taught me the value of interpreting the numbers into words and providing a plan on how to do it and eventually implement the same. We, as CMA, carry the knowledge of helping the management realize the company’s vision and mission into life.

The CMA program has taught me a lot especially in handling difficult decisions that will very much affect our company. Cases and examples were concrete that enables us to think and reflect more. Most importantly, they did not only teach us the content but so the inner core of it. I met and gained friends as well. Mabuhay CMA batch 49.
Ma. Elsa N. Rioveros
Finance Officer
I am writing in connection with pursuing my designation for Certified Management Accountant. I have attended the CMA Program Course under Batch 20, but unfortunately, due to work and family schedule, I was unable to complete the full requirements to earn my designation, upon completion of the course. I welcomed a new member of our family then and priorities have changed and certain adjustments need to be made to balance work and family life. Some years after completion of the program course, I am very keen to earn my designation. I would appreciate very much a reconsideration for me to pursue this. I would like to express how grateful I am for the program, that more than earning the designation, the program truly allowed me to be better at my role. Since then, my career has progressed well in the same company I am connected with and has paved the way for me to also develop as a mentor and a leader in the company. The program has allowed me as well to institutionalize many programs, beyond projects and initiatives, and has allowed me to make significant contributions to the success of the company and my teams as well. This progress I have made, even prior to completion of earning the CMA designation. Needless to say, the program has been truly helpful and I am confident there are many more with similar stories that I have. Having said, I also recognize the importance of earning the designation, and it would be very remiss on my part to let this opportunity pass. Hence, I took again a refresher course under Batch 49. The sessions have allowed me to reconfirm the benefits of the program especially in the various roles I have performed. Thanks very much and more power to CMA Phils and ICMA Australia.

Despite the pandemic, the CMA program was able to push through and was executed well via Zoom meetings. There are a lot of learnings and group activities during the sessions. The asynchronous sessions made me get to know more about my group mates and learned a lot from them especially on their experiences from their companies, while the synchronous sessions also have a lot of learnings and insights from the experiences of our lecturers.

CMA Batch 49 Participant
What we have in the 49th Batch is unusual but the program management turns it to be usual. COVID turns our life upside down. 2020 is tough but we are tougher. A few years from now, maybe someone will ask me what I have in 2020, at least despite all the problems, I can say that I’ve been in the CMA program and enjoying the fruits now. Thank you CMA Philippines.

Jeff Bryan Pineda
Senior Cost Accountant
The CMA Program redefined my idea of strategic planning, strategic thinking and the important roles of accountants, as forward-looking and value-creating members of the organization. CMA equipped me with new skills, tools and reflections that will guide me in creating value both in my career and personal life. The speakers are inspiring and passionate. They relate the topics with real life experiences and even polish it up, bringing it on a personal level effectively. They inspired me to reflect and personalize every topic, every case and every question. I’ve done my best in one of the longest 12-saturday-sessions in CMA history. But it turned out that it was just the start of my exciting journey to learn more. It has opened a lot of doors for me to continuously discover. It prepared and gave me the confidence to hold that doorknob, turn it and push forward.

From Papua New Guinea I traveled back to my home country, the Philippines, to be able to fulfill my longing for a deeper level of success. I am a CPA who practiced my profession abroad for almost 7 years, throughout those years I have carved my place in the business world, from gathering data to creating reports. Working overseas, facing diverse cultures propel me towards increasing my achievements. My dream and determination went hand in hand and resulted in completing the CMA program. Our weekly sessions allow us to always look for a better way and answer the big picture in a well-articulated story. Gaining both finance and business concepts is a breakthrough to rise through the ranks and lead companies of today. Indeed, real greatness is the integrity of one’s effort!
