The Learning Series is designed to help management accounting and finance professionals enhance their skills, advance their careers and increase their earning potential.
A recent salary survey found that a CMA-certified professional earns 89% more than a noncertified professional and 19% more than a professional with only a CPA (Source: SmartPros.com Salary Survey, Feb.06)
