Credit Monitoring Arrangement Data or CMA report is arrangement of financial details of business to furnish for fund raising. CMA report contains past performance and future expected performance of a business.

CMA report shows actual result of a business and projections for future years.

Project Report not only contains financial data of business but also other factors having impact on business. For instance a project report evaluates business project with respect to social and economic conditions.

Project report contains:

  1. Social acceptance of business
  2. Economic conditions affecting business
  3. Government policies
  4. Market study of business

In summary, CMA data contains only financial position of business and project report contains social study, economic study and market conditions along with financial projections.
