The accounting market is facing the dilemma of unbalanced supply and demand of talents, and the demand for accounting talents in many large and high-paying enterprises is increasingly biased towards CMA management accounting. Enterprises now need not only accountants who can keep accounts and make reports, but also CMA management talents who can create value for enterprises with their own skills and provide constructive opinions for enterprises. Especially for major central enterprises and multinational companies! Of course, CMA has also been widely adopted by Fortune 500 companies and become the main human resource evaluation standard.
Enterprise's demand for CMA
It is understood that there are currently140,000 financial workers in China, 80-90% of whom are engaged in financial accounting. But in western developed countries, more than 85% financial workers are engaged in management accounting. Liu Junyong, a professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that management accounting will be China's "blue ocean" in the next decade, with a gap of 3 million, while the demand for financial accounting talents will be cut by two-thirds, and a large number of traditional financial personnel will face transformation or unemployment.
