✍️ Sample CCM Questions & Answers
1. When using reflective listening with an upset owner, what should the manager do?
Paraphrasing confirms understanding and signals that the owner has been heard.
2. Which accounting method records revenue when earned and expenses when incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands?
Accrual basis accounting matches revenues and expenses to the period they occur, providing a more accurate financial picture.
3. What is the primary purpose of a reserve study for a community association?
A reserve study evaluates major components' remaining useful life and replacement costs so the association can fund reserves adequately.
4. A newly elected board member wants to make decisions based solely on personal preference rather than the governing documents. What is the community manager's best course of action?
Community managers play an advisory role; educating board members on governing documents and fiduciary duty helps prevent decisions that expose the association to liability.

Stakeholder buy-in and a structured change management plan significantly increase the likelihood of successful implementation.
