Hi,Rosa
CMA:Certified Management Accountant . You can find many websites related to CMA. But I also like your imagination,nice

I'm a CMA..the other two designations you mention are foreign to me.

The only accounting certifications that have earned any real recognition are:
CA,CPA,CGA and CMA.

My experience with off-shoot designations suggests that they are jacks of all trades and masters of none.

is CMA an offical certificate?if so which institutions demand it.thanks

[Abr4xii]

If you wish to become a Certified Management Accountant in Canada, you must:
complete a university undergraduate degree.
satisfactorily complete the CMA National Entrance Examination
satisfactorily complete the CMA Strategic Leadership Program
complete 24 months of fieldwork/practical training within Canada

Re your question: Which institutions demand it?

As with any profession, CMA's,CA's and CGA's are in demand based on their high level of education and expertise. These groups are also governed by a standard of ethics.
I hope that answers your question.
