Members' Handbook

Employers, clients, colleagues and the wider public rightly expect that CIMA members uphold the highest professional standards. As the issues faced in business become ever more complex, it is vital that CIMA, as your professional body, supports you to maintain your integrity and demonstrate your commitment to act in the public interest.  

The CIMA Members’ Handbook provides valuable information about key professional standards issues and provides support across a number of significant areas including increasing awareness of professional competence and ethical responsibilities, promoting understanding of CIMA’s byelaws and regulations, providing further guidance to both members in business and those in practice, and assisting with professional development needs by highlighting changes to technical issues and legislation.

By increasing the level of support we offer to you, our members, to maintain and demonstrate your professional integrity, we continue to enhance the reputation of the CIMA qualification and public confidence in management accountancy. This in turn ensures our enhanced employability in all business areas and sectors.

We encourage your feedback and suggestions for future developments to the handbook so that we continue to produce the most useful up-to-date and relevant reference tool for all our members.
