Chartered Institute of Management Accountants

02 August 2006

CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) has received recognition after submitting an article in the IFAC (International Federation of Accountants) Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee 2006 Articles of Merit Competition.

Of the many articles submitted to IFAC this year ten articles were judged to be of outstanding merit and have been selected for inclusion in the 2006 Article of Merit booklet which is to be published in the coming weeks.

As the world’s largest chartered professional accountancy body with a sole focus on business, CIMA is delighted that the article, ‘The Future of Finance, Parts 1 and 2’ by Stathis Gould and Martin Fahy has been selected as one of the top 10.

Gould and Fahy propose a business partnering model that they believe will allow the function to deliver high-design quality decisions-support services. In part two, they examine the many challenges that an effective finance business partnering approach should address.

Charles Tilley, Chief Executive, CIMA said “The future of the finance function remains a critical issue for all business and it is a great achievement that the work CIMA has contributed to this area has been recognised as one of the top 10 articles.” 

The 2006 Articles of Merit booklet is available on the IFAC website www.ifac.org
