Experience Requirements

Three (3) years of relevant experience in accounting and finance

Education

If you opt for the CGMA Finance Leadership Program, you will learn and
demonstrate your mastery of the skills that 2,000 finance teams have identified
as being critical for your career.

The program covers 33 competencies such as financial policy, debt and equity
finance, financial risk, business valuation and acquisitions, enterprise risk
management, strategic risk, internal controls, cybersecurity, competitive
advantage, strategy formulation, strategy implementation and digital strategy.

In addition, you receive access to the case study review course. All learning is
delivered online and is self-paced.

If you opt for the case study review course, you will learn what the case study
format is like, work through an analysis of the “pre-seen” material (the case

receive feedback before you take the real exam.

Examination

The capstone CGMA exam – called the Strategic Case Study Exam – can be taken at
a testing center or online. The test is unique in that it uses a case study
format, placing you in the scenario of someone working in finance, with
open-ended questions about helping guide the business.

Successfully completing the exam is a great way to prove your mastery of the new
skills you have learned.
