If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Iwaqarhashmi 2 months ago. | ![]() |
Comment: This joint may well be notable, as many professional organizations are, but it really needs secondary sourcing, and it needs a total rewrite. The editor really needs to read more encyclopedic articles, and also practice formatting. Drmies (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
The Financial Management Association International is an organization, similar to the American Finance Association, that publishes a peer-reviewed journal and holds annual meetings, primarily attended by finance professors, practitioners who commonly work for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or litigation consulting firms, and doctoral students.
The FMA also sponsors student chapters at many universities, with undergraduate finance majors participating. The web site for the chapter at the Carey School of Business at Arizona State University describes some of their activities.[1]
Administration and Governance
The FMA, as it is commonly known, was founded in 1970 and employs a full-time staff based in Tampa, Florida, and is headed by an executive director. The current executive director is Michelle Lui. There is also an elected president and other officers, including a board of directors composed of academics and practitioners.[2] Past presidents include Franklin Allen, Mark Flannery, Maureen O'Hara, and Laura Starks.[3]
The FMA's web site is at https://www.fma.org/
Annual Meetings
The FMA holds a number of meetings each year, spread over the calendar year. The largest, with normally about 1,600 attendees, is the annual meeting, held in North America in October. A recent paper listed it as the largest academic finance conference in the world by the number of papers presented.[4] There is also an annual European meeting of the Financial Management Association, usually held in June, and not to be confused with the annual meeting of the European Financial Management Association[5], which is an entirely different organization. The European meeting of the FMA is normally attended by about 300 people. The FMA also holds an Asia/Pacific meeting, usually attended by approximately 200 people. The FMA also holds additional meetings, including an Applied Finance conference that is co-sponsored by St. John's University in New York City.[6]
Publications
The flagship publication of the FMA is Financial Management,[7] published by Wiley.[8] The current editors are Michael Goldstein, Kathleen Kahle, and Shawn Thomas. A 2005 study rated it the 10th out of 40 finance journals.[9]
