CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations List of Accounting Bodies

The CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations List is the CIMA Institute’s very own selection of high-impact professional bodies and membership associations in the accounting area. Members of institutions featuring on this list are offered the unique benefit of registering in CIMA® on the accelerated Professional Pathway.

The Power For Change

The single biggest impact on the advancement and propagation of best practices in management accounting is created by national, regional and global accounting and finance standards bodies and associations of accounting professionals. CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations listing seeks to recognize the contribution and influence of these bodies and strengthen their efforts to promote investment & management accounting as a distinct field of professional practice. Currently, more than 60 national accounting bodies have been recognized under the CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations List.

How This Works

The CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations listing program periodically identifies professional bodies and associations in accounting and finance whose members can play a role in strengthening and expanding the practice of investment & management accounting in their countries and regions through various CIMA® initiatives.

Professional bodies make the CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations listing after recommendations from a special CIMA institute committee that evaluates the track records and influence potential of handpicked professional bodies in furthering best-practices and professional development in accounting and finance. Shortlisted organizations may be sometimes contacted for more detailed information or clarifications. Though accounting bodies and associations do not have to generally apply for inclusion in this list, and the exercise is CIMA® initiated and automatic, just in case you do not see your professional body on the CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations List as yet, please drop us a line at [email protected].

IMPORTANT: The CIMA® Preferred Accounting Associations listing program is a completely non-reciprocal, non-commercial, non-contractual, recognition-based initiative requiring no application or participation or payment of any fee by professional body or association.
