Ethics
CIMA is committed to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards, and to maintaining public confidence in management accounting.
CIMA members and students are required to comply with the CIMA code of ethics and to adopt the fundamental principles to their working lives.
The CIMA code of ethics is based on the IFAC handbook of the code of ethics for professional accountants, from the International Ethics Standards Board of Accountants (IESBA).
