http://www.imanet.org/ provides an overview of the Certified Management

Accountant (CMA) designation. (See the Certification link on the home page.)

The website of the American Institute of Public Accountants (AICPA) at

http://www.aicpa.org provides an overview of the Certified Public Accountant (CPA)

designation. (Access the overview at http://www.startheregoplaces.com/.

Review the information provided on these two websites. Then, write a brief paper (3 – 5

paragraphs) that:

Compares and contrasts these two professional designations (that is, the CMA and

CPA).

involves obtaining a license from the state in which the accountant practices.
