CIMA – Introducing the global management accounting principles
Quality decision-making in business has never been more important, or more difficult. The United Nations Millennium Project has listed uncertainty and the capacity to decide as one of the 15 most important global challenges currently facing humanity.
Nine in 10 of the world’s senior executives say a stronger partnership with finance in the decision-making process will help them better manage their organizations in the coming years
What you can gain
CIMA and the AICPA, two of the world’s largest accountancy bodies, have produced the first universal set of global management accounting principles to guide best practice and bring consistency to a critical function. They were created in consultation with CEOs, CFOs, academics, government bodies, regulators and other professionals across 20 countries on five continents. They can be applied in organisations large and small, public and private.
Join us to find out how the four principles help bring structure to chaotic complexity and empower evidence based decision-making. They set out a blueprint for better business, equipping everyone throughout an organisation, from the board downwards, with a framework to make better decisions. Management, stakeholders, investors and the public can have more confidence that the right decisions are being made, with the right information at hand.
