According to a webinar I recently attended (Wiley sponsored), here are the changes for 2020:
Changes to Part 1:
Technology is transforming the profession, and we want our CMAs to be prepared. Part 1 of the CMA exam will include a new section on Technology and Analytics.
New Title: Financial Planning, Performance, and Analytics
New Content: Technology and Analytics, Integrated Reporting
Deleted Content: Internal Auditing
Changes to Part 2:
Being able to apply an ethical and strategic framework to decision making in a complex, digital world is a skill every accounting and finance professional needs. Part 2 of the exam will expand the Professional Ethics and Decision Analysis sections.
New Title: Strategic Financial Management
New Content: Business Ethics, Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Deleted Content: Off-Balance-Sheet Financing, Bankruptcy, Tax Implications of Transfer Pricing
Hope this helps!

Subject: Taking Exam 2019 Vs. 2020 syllabuses / exam pattern
Dear All,
I am planning to appear for Sep'19-Oct'19 exam window with 2019 syllabus. Kindly pls note " I am going to buy new book" for the said exam.
Meanwhile, I understood, there will be changes in the exam pattern with syllabus changes.
Is that advisable to appear Sep'19-Oct'19 exam window with 2019 syllabus (or) can i wait till 2020 syllabus. I am worrying i may loose money of book purchase in case if i fail in the exam.
Waiting for your valuable advice.
