US CMA vs Indian CMA: What’s the Earning Potential?

The scope of US CMA (Certified Management Accountant) in India is primarily focused on international accounting and finance roles. US CMAs are sought after by multinational corporations, audit firms, and financial institutions operating in India for their expertise in U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards, as well as their ability to navigate complex financial regulations and compliance requirements.

US CMA Course has a usual run-time of 9 months for most people. If you are a full-time student, you may be able to complete the US CMA training & exams in less than a year. For working professionals who may not be able to dedicate study time on a daily basis, completing US CMA can take up to 9 to 12 Months.

US CMA contains 2 primary subjects named Part-1 & Part-2. Between the two subjects the CMA curriculum tests 12 core competencies, necessary for F&A professionals of today. For a detailed listing of all the topics covered in the two subjects, visit the CMA Syllabus & Exam page.

Hock CMA Course is an Approved US CMA Study Material, as is the Beckers US CMA Package & Review. Both have the similar content of equal quality. However, while Becker’s in India comes with limited access only, whereas Hock comes with unlimited access as standard. This means with Beckers there are hidden charges for renewal fees everytime your access needs to be renewed. But with Hock, you own the US CMA study materials till you become a US CMA, with no renewal fee/hidden charges and automatic over the air updates for future syllabus changes. Given these facts Hock is clearly the wiser choice.
