Standards

The Professional Standards department actively participates in the regulation of the profession. We promote, develop and maintain high professional standards in the following ways:

• Formulate and develop CIMA’s policies of Professional Standards
• Provide guidelines for members and students on ethical issues
• Investigate complaints against individuals falsely claiming to be members or students of CIMA
• Monitor continuing professional development (CPD) for Members
• Assess and register new Practising Certificate holders (Members in Practice)

The Professional Standards department also maintains up-to-date information about a number of topics that affect our members and registered students. We maintain contact with Government and external regulatory bodies to make sure we develop strategies to help our members and students, while promoting professional standards and ethics.

CIMA is a member of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) which is an external regulatory body. The Financial Reporting Council offers independent oversight of CIMA as a CCAB body.
