The CGMA Competency Framework incorporates technical, business, leadership, and people skills needed in the workplace today.  Consider the foundation in Financial Accounting you have received in this course as an integral part of this skill set and as a building block for your future academic and professional journey.

Additionally, take a look at the graphic explaining the concept of competency integration in accounting education. Notice how business and accounting have many points of intersection.
