All candidates are required to sign a statement agreeing not to disclose the contents of the examinations nor remove examination materials from the testing room. All candidates are also required to attest to the authenticity of their credentials and the accuracy of all statements made in their application.
Cheating will not be tolerated, and all instances of suspected cheating will be fully investigated. Examinees who are caught cheating will have their grades invalidated and will be disqualified from future examinations. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the following; copying answers from another candidate during the exam, using unauthorized materials during the exam, helping another candidate during the exam, removing exam materials from the testing room, divulging exam questions, and/or falsifying credentials.
For those already certified by the ICMA, failure to comply with the non-disclosure policy or the subsequent discovery of cheating will be considered a violation of the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice and could result in revocation of the certificate.
