ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) have announced a new strategic initiative for the global finance profession - Financial Leadership and Performance.
"Both our credentials are the result of rigorous qualification and assessments, with a clear commitment to producing ethical, reputable and high performing members," IMA said in a statement on Tuesday.
The initiative to support the career development goals of chief financial officers (CFOs) and other aspiring professionals was launched officially last Sunday during IMA's annual meeting of members as the start to IMA's Annual Conference & Exposition in New Orleans. ACCA and IMA also signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA), approved by ICMA's Board of Regents and ACCA's Council.
The MRA, signed on the one-year anniversary of ACCA and IMA's strategic partnership, enables members of both organizations, subject to standard conditions of membership, a clear pathway to one another's credentials based on a rigorous content and curriculum review - IMA's CMA (Certified Management Accountant) or ACCA's professional membership. The MRA will become effective early next year.
