IMA will launch a plan of Chinese version exam in China effective Jun 2007.

本人已跟CMA的官员沟通过,他们确认: 2007年6月起将启动中文考试!英文版考试保持不变.也就是说,你可二者选其一.

CMA官方对中国考生反对引入中文版本考试的回信

Mvlen Yao:

Thank you for your e-mail and I appreciate your concern about the integrity of the CMA credential.

Thank you for your e-mail and I appreciate your concern about the integrity of the CMA credential.

The ICMA Board of Regents did decide to offer a Chinese version of the CMA exam beginning in June of 2007. We will continue to offer the English version of the CMA in China as well. The certificate issued will indicate which version was taken.

I can understand your concern that the exam might seem easier, but I assure you that we will maintain the same high standards for the profession of management accounting and we will not certify anyone who does not meet those standards. Of course, it will be easier to understand for a Chinese management accountant who is not proficient in English. But the CMA program is not – and should not be – a test of the English language. We are certifying competence in management accounting, no matter what the language might be. In addition, the goal of the IMA is to create a community of management accountants worldwide to advance the profession, and not all management accountants speak and read English.

I also can understand that passing a rigorous exam such as the CMA in English when you are not a native speaker is a superior accomplishment. In addition, having passed the English version of the CMA exam is a major advantage for someone pursuing a career with a U.S. multinational company based in China. That’s why we will continue to offer the exam in English.

The IMA and the ICMA Board of Regents are committed to the integrity of the CMA program. Our exams will continue to be rigorous yet fair. The growth of the CMA program around the world will benefit all CMAs – it will increase our perceived value and our influence on the profession.

I encourage you to continue your studies and your pursuit of the CMA. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Regards,

Dennis Whitney

 不一定阿。 如果考试费用和年费不降的话。

用中文考的话含金量是否会下降？

个人以为中国人提出不要引进中文考试，是一件很丢中国人脸面的行为。正是因为中国的地位上升，市场重要，美国人才会考虑弄个中文版考试。有些人却跑去跟别人说，不要啊，如果这样，我们这些人考英文出来的和考中文出来的在一起，岂不是不能证明我们比我们的英文不太好的同胞强吗？

真是的，某些中国人的崇洋媚外居然到了这样一种深入骨髓的程度，就算一时冲动，之后也应该知道这是丢脸的想法啊，唉。。。

Don't need to worry about too much for Chinese CMA examination

有中文了

消息可靠吗？

yeah. Per my experience in taking CIA exams, some significant errors occured on the learning material in Chinese. I'm not sure whether some misunderstanding was caused due to the translation while we were taking the real exam.

Anyway, I've passed 3 courses of CIA and tend to join in the left 1 course in English. Plus, choose the English version of CMA, since human being also need to get globalized along with the process of our state's globalization.

那如果考中文的，在中国工作的时候是中国的CPA公认力高还是CMA呢，肯定是CPA吧，那还考个什么CMA啊。请问ACCA和CMA相比那个要权威性好一些呢？

其实有中文考试也没什么不好，别人也说了CMA考的是对专业知识的掌握程度，而非英语。更何况就算用英语靠过了CMA也未见得英语就能好到哪里去。面对外国人照样是聋子，是哑巴。每什么可得意的。
