Visiting professors
Since 1999, CIMA has held a visiting professor programme. The 2008 CIMA Visiting Professor was Professor Wai Fong Chua, the Senior Associate Dean of the Australian School of Business. The lecture took place on 17 April 2008 at the Management Accounting Research Group (MARG) Conference at the London School of Economics.
Professor Chua's lecture titled 'Strategising and accounting' focussed on ‘the developing relationship between finance and strategising: the evolving role of management accounting’. It concerned a case study of the finance function’s involvement in strategy at a major global organisation.
