For anyone who is taking the new format CMA exam in May and June Window, I like to ask you to share your experience and impression of the new CMA exam. Your inputs are appreciated.
I also like to know what prep course you are using to prepare and your opinion on the prep course. Thank you!

CIA is not relevant to me b/c I do not have any experience or a career in Internal Auditing.
I always have been interested in Forensic accounting and I thought that studying for CFE was a good start to learn and develop further on my insights and skill sets in financial expertise. CFE credential can be utilized in many ways - consulting, auditing, fraud examination, risk management, loss prevention, fraud prevention, detection, & deterrence. CIA credential is limited to internal auditing. I would only consider getting CIA if I have qualifying IA experiences.

I too thought of CFE before deciding to pursue CIA. It seems like the CIA is more established than CFE in terms of job perspective. If you go to Yahoo HotJobs, CIA pops up more often than CFE.
