CMA Study Group

I am about to take my final test of the CPA, BEC, here in December.  Anyone have any experience kind of doing BEC then leaping into CMA pt. 1?  It seems like BEC would be a good high level overview of related topics than the CMA is a deep dive into things like cost and financial management.

Also CPE question.  So the CPA requires 40 hours of CPE.  The CMA requires 30,  Can you double dip your CPE?  I.E. If I am doing COPE for the cpa, can this also qualify as hours for the CMA?  Meaning I would really only have to do 40 hours of CPE and not 70?

Yes, you can use the same hours for both the CPA and CMA requirements.
