ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Becker, a global leader in accounting exam preparation and continuing education has announced the expansion of its Becker Academy program to include the new Managerial Accounting Foundations (MAF) course, built in collaboration with the University of Missouri. This course is designed to build proficiency in fundamental areas of management and cost accounting to better prepare individuals to begin studying for the CMA Exam and the BAR section of the CPA Exam.

“Becker continues to be extremely proud of our partnership with the University of Missouri and the Becker Academy courses we’ve built together. Students who take these courses experience significant improvements in their CPA Exam preparation and performance. We are confident that our new course will help students succeed in various career paths and exam preparation journeys.” says Ed Clark, Becker Professional Education president.

Becker Academy launched in 2024 in partnership with the Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business at the University of Missouri, in response to research showing that many CPA candidates lack essential accounting foundations needed to succeed when taking the CPA Exam Review.

Today, Becker Academy includes four courses covering financial accounting, individual tax, and now management accounting. Each course strategically targets key subject areas to strengthen students’ understanding of foundational concepts, resulting in a 96% course satisfaction rating from participants.

“We are delighted to partner with Becker on the launch of Management Accounting Foundations.

It will help enhance foundational knowledge of management accounting among both domestic and international candidates for these exams and beyond.” Vairam Arunachalam, Joseph A.
