CMA

The Institute ofCertified Management Accountants of Australia (ICMA) was incorporated in 1996 under the patronage of Mr. William Dix (former Chairman of Ford and Qantas) and Professor John Miller (former Director of Consumer Affairs, Chairman of Pannell, Kerr, Foster and holder of numerous senior academic positions). Its main objectives are to provide a professional organization for management accountants, and to encourage, disseminate and promote the specialization in organizations in Australasia. It is linked to the Institute of Management Accountants (USA) via it’s journal, which is distributed to all members. Similar specialist bodies have been operating in most English-speaking developed countries, e.g. USA, UK and Canada, and from 1996 in Australia.
