CIMA acknowledges the need for the provision of information regarding our members’ role and function as Commissioners of Oaths in the public sector. 

We have therefore prepared a brief guide which will enable members to utilise and understand this vital role.

Members in practice (MiPs) are chartered management accountants in professional practice who provide accounting services to all types of businesses, but are not direct employees of those businesses.

More information can be found on our MiPs page:

About MiPs
