What is the difference between the ICWA course and CMA?

There is no such difference between ICWAI and CMA. They are two different words used to describe one single thing. ICWAI stands for Institute of Cost and Work Accountant of India whereas CMA stands for Cost management accounting. Apart from the literal meaning there is no difference at all.

Hi Deepika There is no difference between the ICWA and CMA. They are two different words used to describe one single thing. ICWAI stands for Institute of Cost and Work Accountant of India whereas CMA stands for Cost management accounting. Earlier CMA was known as the ICWAI, which was replaced by ICMAI during past years.

The ICAI (Institute of Cost Accountants of India) was formerly known as the ICWAI (Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India). Therefore, people sometimes regarded certified management accountant courses by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India as ICWA courses. All certified management accountant (CMA) courses, ICMAI courses, or ICWAI courses are the same. For more details, you may visit the Shiksha CMA Exam page.

I hope this will help you.
