Middle East – IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), the global association of accountants and financial professionals in business, announced that its CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) and CSCA® (Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis) English language exams are now available globally via remote proctoring, across all countries where IMA does business. Remote proctoring enables candidates to write a test in a remote location, while maintaining the integrity of the test.
Candidates can now register for the exams in any testing window, to be taken remotely without having to go to a Prometric Test Center. This will be an additional option for those who do not have convenient access to a Test Center or who prefer to take the exams from home.
In order to participate in remote proctoring, candidates will need to register with IMA for the CMA exam or the CSCA exam, and then schedule a date and time for their exam with Prometric - ICMA’s (Institute of Certified Management Accountants) test administration partner, using its ProProctor™ remote assessment platform. Remote proctoring will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“The pandemic has escalated the adoption of technology across sectors and education is no exception. To overcome the ongoing challenges of the pandemic and given the recent advances in remote testing, it is an appropriate time for us to begin remote proctoring for our CMA and CSCA exams. It is efficient, secure, cost-effective, convenient, and the evaluations are accurate, reliable, and timely,” said Dennis Whitney, CMA, senior vice president, certifications, exams, & content integration at IMA. “Later In 2022, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the CMA program. Remote proctoring is one in a series of continuous enhancements to the CMA program that further adds value to the world’s leading advanced certification for accounting and finance professionals in business.”
The CMA certification is the global benchmark for management accountants and financial professionals. The two-part exam tests 12 competencies and earning the CMA can give professionals greater credibility, higher earning potential, and ultimately, a seat at the leadership table. The CSCA certification is available to CMAs and complements and expands their strategic planning and analysis skills.
Registration for remote proctoring is now available. For more information on the remote proctoring process and what is involved, please visit the FAQ page on IMA’s website.
