Hi,
The role of management accounting differs from that of public accounting, since management accountants work at the âbeginningâ of the value chain, supporting decision making, planning and control, while audit and tax functions involve checking the work after the fact. Management accountants are valued business partners, directly supporting an organization's strategic goals.
The CMA® designation is an advanced, globally recognized credential that supports management accounting and finance professionals who drive business performance from inside organizations. It is designed to foster the professional development of those who hold it, preparing them to anticipate the needs of their organizations and play an integral role in the strategic decision-making process, while also upholding the highest level of professional and ethical standards. IMA's CMA program embodies an extensive and advanced-level curriculum requiring candidates to demonstrate thorough knowledge of accounting, finance and important related fields, as well as the ability to integrate accounting and financial information into the business decision process. CMA exam topics include economics, business finance, situational analysis, and decision making, with a strong emphasis on ethics. Combined with relevant rule-based subject matter, the four-tiered CMA exam is designed to develop and measure critical thinking and decision-making skills.
You can select any of the following material for exam study, I am ranking following study materials as per my personal judgment;
1) Gleim self study material
2) IMA self study material

Sohail, CMA
