The ICMA was not formed as a body for members to apply for immigration to Australia. Instead, it was set up for already qualified accountants (CAs, CPAs, CIMA, ACCA etc.) to obtain post-graduate level specialisation in managerial accounting.
Furthermore, ICMA does not get involved in skilled migration to Australia or New Zealand, as it is against such countries poaching valuable professional assets from countries that need these skills.
As such, the institute does not enter into correspondence as to whether CMA is a recognised qualification for purposes of migration requirements to Australia. It is aware, however, that some CMAs have obtained migration to Australia on a case-by-case basis.
Please note that the ICMA’s Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential has been assessed for equivalency on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) at Level 9 (Master’s Degree) by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).
