Developing and disseminating technical expertise

CIMA sponsors research that will make a difference to the work of management accountants. Our aim is to make the results of research available as widely as possible so we offer free executive summaries of each report. View research reports information.

CIMA seeks the opinion of its members on regulatory issues that may affect them in their work before responding to consultations from regulatory bodies. Please visit the consultations database page.

Discussion papers are another way in which CIMA seeks to involve its members in its technical agenda. View discussion papers.

Further information on CIMA's innovation and development agenda can be found in our brochure (PDF 887KB).

A number of other technical publications on a wide range of topics are published on the CIMA website. These can be searched at CIMA's resources page.
