The COE will collaborate with universities, the public sector and key industry players in this region to ensure the areas of research and related outputs are market driven and relevant.
Outputs will include research reports and cutting edge tools and techniques that will address issues raised by the industry. These solutions will be vital in guiding critical business decisions and driving strong performance in financial and operational reality.
The research, which will be led by CIMA, will help to develop the CIMA brand within the accounting field in this region as well as increase awareness of the benefits of using management accounting tools and concepts to gain a competitive edge.
It will also provide CIMA with a better understanding of employers’ needs in the region and help develop a truly global industry relevant syllabus and CPD resources appropriate for local use.
Research funding are based on the following four thematic areas:
- Public sector transformation.
- Sustainability in accountancy.
- Performance measurement and risk management.
- Stewardship and corporate governance
We are also happy to consider any research topic that is practice relevant, comprising a research project that is related to CIMA’s mission of helping people and businesses succeed through the development and operation of innovative, sustainable, and best practice management accounting systems.
