David Unterdorfer said he was drawn towards becoming a CMA Certified Management Accountant by its growing recognition as a testament of financial aptitude. “This is going to be valuable for me, even though I’m currently pursuing an academic career path,” said Unterdorfer. “It also gave me the chance to apply what I had learned in RSM’s MSc in Accounting & Financial Management and RSM’s preparatory course.”
According to Dr Paolo Perego, associate professor of management accounting and control at RSM, Unterdorfer performed exceptionally on the CMA exam. “The CMA credential is highly valued at organisations around the world,” said Perego. “It’s the most widely recognised international qualification for management accountants and financial managers,” he said, adding that David’s award proves that the integration of CMA specific training within RSM’s MSc in Accounting & Financial Management programme offers an excellent chance to prepare for the CMA exam.
