Comprehensive, flexible, business focussed and robust is the way many now describe CIMA, which is classified as one of the qualifications most relevant to business sought-after globally.
With a long history in Sri Lanka, CIMA has proved to be the one qualification that is affordable and provided many individuals with the skills and competencies to be gainfully employed and drive enterprises and corporate successfully.
CIMA’s success is attributed to the fact that those who qualify can secure employment within any area of an organisation in any industry. CIMA students and members work at the heart of the business, not just restricted to finance and accounting. Furthermore it acts as great ‘add on’ qualification that complements engineers, doctors and lawyers and even HR, IT and marketing professionals.
Globally employers have endorsed CIMA’s 2015 syllabus as it is designed to gear students with the skills and competencies that will help them to understand, comprehend and contribute towards the success of organisations and businesses. The computerised objective tests, which can be sat for on demand as well as the integrated case studies after each level reflect the current working environment of a business professional.
The CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting remains unchanged and provides an excellent foundation for students who haven’t followed the finance stream in school, giving them an understanding on how it relates to the business world. CIMA is proud to be leading the way being the first global accountancy body to develop a combination of computerised assessments and the move-away from paper based examinations reflecting the incorporation of technology in education to the work place.
Two years ago CIMA launched the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation with a joint venture partnership with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), making CIMA a truly global qualification, creating global job opportunities and the number one reason for employers to recruit CIMA members.
