MBA Careers: CIMA Leads The Way For Women In Accounting
CIMA - The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants is the largest professional professional accounting management firm, globally supporting 150,000 Chartered Global Management Accountants (CGMA). It adopts measures to address the gender divide in leadership and to promote women in accounting.
Samantha Louis has worked for CIMA for 19 years. She moved from CIMA management in South Africa to the entire sub-Saharan Africa region, moving to London where she now works as CIMA's Strategic Vice President - Management Accounting.
"I have had the opportunity to meet many inspiring women of my career who have guided, guided and helped me," he says. "Today, I see more women in managerial positions that drive and influence the profession around the world - they certainly would not have seen it when I started work."
CIMA leads by example. He had several female chairs - CIMA in South Africa had its first female president in 1989. In the UK, the CIMA Women's Accounting Group supports women at all levels of their careers.
The Business Case
According to a McKinsey report of 2015, top quartile companies for gender diversity are 15% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry averages.
The analysis of diversity has been carried out, and there have been changes in the accounting industry. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has had two women in succession.
Deloitte in the UK has promoted gender diversity in each KPI as a partner and manager. Deloitte is part of a number of companies with gender-neutral curricula, eliminating the unconscious bias between the sexes in the selection of candidates.
Samantha is positive: "You're going to do what drives your business in a sustainable way over the long term, and I think the deal has been made that diversity at all levels of leadership does it."
CIMA and the MBA
Samantha attended her MBA at the University of Pretoria in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is also a General Accountant in Management (CGMA), having studied the CIMA qualification through the CIMA Master Door, a fast track for MBA holders that exempts them from 11 exams.
CIMA's rating goes beyond traditional accounting programs, encompassing technical accounting techniques as well as modern management-oriented topics such as large data, sustainability and leadership.
CIMA students are evaluated through task-oriented case studies that reflect the current work environment. The qualification allowed Samantha to make about 18 months.
"Once I started growing in a leadership role, it was clear to me that I needed to have a better understanding of finances," he says.
"How does money really work in an organization?" What is the financial impact of the decisions you make? How are resources allocated most effectively? The CIMA qualification answers these questions.
"MBAs are often quite broad and do not take all the subjects in depth," continues Samantha. "If you aspire to work at the board or senior management level, CIMA is a very good qualification to do in addition to your MBA."
The future
Bryony Stewart is a management consultant with a leading global financial services company. He completed his CIMA in 2003 and decided to take a part-time MBA at Strathclyde Business School a year later.
She knows that women face challenges in leadership roles in accounting and finance. For Bryony, key issues include women's family and care responsibilities and the lack of women's models and mentors in some organizations. However, she is optimistic about the future.
"Progress is being made as they increase awareness, support and commitment to address the gender imbalance in the first rank. Some companies are also beginning to define the board's goals in terms of gender diversity," she says.
"It is not only a desire to improve equality statistics, but also to capitalize on financial performance amel

Enrollments in Undergraduate Accounting Programs Remain Strong: AICPA Trends Report
Enrollment in undergraduate and postgraduate accounting programs for the 2015-2016 school year totaled more than 250,000, maintaining the record level of 2013-2014. This was mainly due to a record level of undergraduate enrollment. From the demand side, the recruitment of new graduates in accounting firms has declined from the record level seen in 2014. This is according to reports 2017 Trends in the provision of graduates and the demand for public accounting accounting, Published today by the American Institute of CPA (AICPA).

"The AICPA continues to be incredibly focused on attracting bright, motivated accountants to the profession. We use Trends and other internal research to shape our programs and initiatives to ensure that the next generation CPA knows that joining the accounting profession is one Excellent career choice with flexibility and substantial opportunities.
While undergraduate enrollments were at an all-time high, the report found that projected enrollment in the accounting system returned to pre-2014 levels. Recent trend reports have seen a steep increase in enrollments and teacher graduates. The CPA profession has significantly lower unemployment rates than the economy in general, especially during economic downturns, which may have helped to attract both traditional and career-changing students to their masters. accounting.
"In my experience as an educator, economic turbulence is a strong motivator for people to pursue the stability of a career in accounting," Hinson said. "The uncertain job market in the post-recession years may have led a large number of career changers to return to school to obtain a master's degree in accounting. At the same time we have seen plenty of students to continue their masters degree directly After graduating from his bachelor's degree in order to strengthen his academic credentials, thus increasing the total number during this period. "
The number of undergraduate degrees awarded during the academic year 2015-2016 (57,119) remained strong, adding to the second highest record and representing a five percent increase from 2013-2014. While the masters degrees awarded (22 405) fell from the historical level observed in 2013-2014, they were also the second highest recorded. Overall, there was an overall decline of 2,258 book titles granted in 2015-2016.
After reaching historic increases over the last four years, hiring the projected public accounting firm has slowed down during calendar year 2016, with 8363 fewer new accounting graduates hired as compared to the previous year.

According to the BLS manual, high demand for accountants can lead to good prospects for entry-level positions, with strong competition for jobs in the most prestigious accounting firms and companies. The manual also notes that employment prospects are particularly attractive to accountants and auditors who have obtained their CPA licenses.
"As technology and data analysis reorganize the global economy, CPAs remain well positioned to take advantage of these trends," said Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA, President and CEO of AICPA. "We have focused on educating our members on current and future opportunities available to them, as accounting firms are increasingly moving toward the provision of wider insurance services. And we are also proactively addressing change in the profession through the new version of the CPA exam, which puts more emphasis on higher order skills such as analytical ability and problem solving. "

This increase was attributed by the launch of the new review in 2017, as well as by the concerted efforts of the 'AICPA, state-owned enterprises CPA and accounting companies to encourage individuals to pass the CPA exam.

AICPA transitions its budget to a new international association
The American Institute of Chartered Accountants has presented its budget and finances at its Spring Council meeting in Washington, DC on Monday, while the organization undergoes a transformation in international partnership with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
Eric Hansen, Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee of AICPA, provided a summary of the finances in the last five months of the organization's fiscal year, which now has a calendar year end, according to CIMA. For the five-month period to December 31, 2016, the AICPA had a net loss of $ 2.6 million, or $ 2.5 million of unfavorable budget. The variation is due to several factors, Hansen said. Net operating revenues decreased by $ 1.3 million above the budget, mainly related to the assumption times for the budget for the five-month period, making most of the amounts expected to be realized in 2017. Expenditure Of total operations was negative by 1.6 million budget. The main factor that contributed was the cost invested in consolidating the new Association of Professional Accountants between AICPA and CIMA.
Two important non-operating elements had an impact on the financial statements during the period. First, a 5 million impairment charge was recorded after the management of AICPA assessed several previous software projects and has been determined to actually replaced or translated "non-current." This decrease charge was offset by a pension gain of $ 5.5 million related to an increase in the plan discount rate due to current market conditions. On a combined basis, net assets were reduced by 2.6 million, mainly because of these differences. Last month, the AICPA Board of Directors unanimously approved the audited financial statements, which included an unchanged opinion.
AICPA Vice President of Finance Tim LaSpaluto said that AICPA's investment portfolio performance has increased since 2012 and that the Institute continues to oversee its mix of portfolio. The pension plans of the AICPA and CIMA are liabilities of each respective organization.
For the calendar year 2017, the AICPA will finance the new partnership as a whole. "As reported in the last board meetings, we have provided a net shortfall of $ 10 million due to the association's investment in strategic value generators," Hansen said. "We expect continued growth in our revenue generation activities and we expect growth of 5% compared to 2016."
One of the highlights of the AICPA hopes that 2017 will be a new event in June called Engage, which will feature the most important innovative, influential and profession leaders. Tax revenue is expected to increase by 5 percent, mainly due to the continued growth of membership in all areas and rates to raise the rate based on previous years and inflation. The AICPA is expected to drop 10% of test sales after last month's release of the next generation CPA exam. However, the AICPA has increased the number of candidates who examined the four quarters prior to the change. The new uniform CPA exam puts more emphasis on cognitive tests of higher order candidate skills, such as critical thinking and analytical skills.
From the point of view of expenditure, the AICPA anticipates increases in its operating expenses due to the annual salary increases, which are indicated as being in line with the market. The budget also includes a contingency of $ 1.75 million, in line with previous years, to allow management and the board to deploy the unbudgeted necessary resources.
Membership continues to grow. "We expect to finish 2017 with more than 670,000 members and students, an increase of 10,000 compared to 2016," said LaSpaluto. "Our cash and credit section has increased by 10 percent, 100-76 thousand, which includes newly accredited ratings for entities' certificates and intangible assets, and we continue to generate revenue in all areas, allowing us to invest In programs and initiatives that support our members around the world.
This year, the AICPA launched the new CeIV grade, which should generate additional income. The AICPA also launched a tax reform in the Resource Center to inform
Eric Hansen, Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee of AICPA, provided a summary of the finances in the last five months of the organization's fiscal year, which now has a calendar year end, according to CIMA. For the five-month period to December 31, 2016, the AICPA had a net loss of $ 2.6 million, or $ 2.5 million of unfavorable budget. The variation is due to several factors, Hansen said. Net operating revenues decreased by $ 1.3 million above the budget, mainly related to the assumption times for the budget for the five-month period, making most of the amounts expected to be realized in 2017. Expenditure Of total operations was negative by 1.6 million budget. The main factor that contributed was the cost invested in consolidating the new Association of Professional Accountants between AICPA and CIMA.
Two important non-operating elements had an impact on the financial statements during the period. First, a 5 million impairment charge was recorded after the management of AICPA assessed several previous software projects and has been determined to actually replaced or translated "non-current." This decrease charge was offset by a pension gain of $ 5.5 million related to an increase in the plan discount rate due to current market conditions. On a combined basis, net assets were reduced by 2.6 million, mainly because of these differences. Last month, the AICPA Board of Directors unanimously approved the audited financial statements, which included an unchanged opinion.
AICPA Vice President of Finance Tim LaSpaluto said that AICPA's investment portfolio performance has increased since 2012 and that the Institute continues to oversee its mix of portfolio. The pension plans of the AICPA and CIMA are liabilities of each respective organization.
For the calendar year 2017, the AICPA will finance the new partnership as a whole. "As reported in the last board meetings, we have provided a net shortfall of $ 10 million due to the association's investment in strategic value generators," Hansen said.

MBA Lands UK Government Finance Job After CIMA Qualification
John Anderson is a graduate of Middlesex University's full-time MBA program in 2006. He has worked in finance related roles in the rail network - which owns and manages most of the rail network in the UK - almost one of each.
Then, in 2014, he decided to continue his career in finance to the next level and pursue a professional degree in accounting CIMA - The Institute of Accountants Management.
CIMA is the largest professional body of management accountants in the world. CIMA supports and invokes 150 000 Public Accountants of Global Management (CGMA) around the world.
The CIMA qualification is designed in response to the employer's request. It extends beyond the scope of traditional accounting programs - as well as technical accounting knowledge, it focuses on modern topics focused on management, as do the great data, sustainability and leadership. CIMA students were assessed using case studies focused on tasks that reflect the current work environment.
For MBA students, CIMA qualification is a way to excel in the job market. CIMA offers a path to the entrance gate of the main entrance, a fast track for MBA holders that exempts 11 explorations. John received his CIMA degree in less than a year. He is now a registered global management account, ACMA CGMA.
By studying the CIMA qualification, he joined Capita and achieved commercial financial aspects of a 2 billion project of deploying smart meters for energy users in the UK.
After completing the CIMA qualification he was given a leadership position as a Finance Officer for the UK Department of Transportation. An MBA helped, but needed the CIMA qualification for the job. In fact, he would not be where he is now without him.
Why did you decide to follow the CIMA qualification?
The MBA is an excellent qualification and I always use the lessons of that experience in my daily work. However, I wanted my career that focuses on finance.
I saw two main advantages for continuing the CIMA qualification. First, being professionally qualified and maintaining an MBA can open doors for financial positions. There is some seriousness with CIMA qualification that helps you move into the financial community and develop a career based on finances. Secondly, I wanted to develop new financial skills that were not covered in the MBA program.
What is a CIMA qualification gives an MBA, no?
My experience was that while my MBA covers some of the financial elements of the CIMA course, CIMA has more content than the MBA. Although the CIMA strategic level content was excellent for further developing my knowledge in strategic finance, I still use it now. Part of the new course content, such as large data, was very useful - and this has never been covered in my MBA.
How does knowledge apply to your current position?
My role invites me to continue financial elements in large public markets of the railway franchise.
I regularly use CIMA learning as financial risk management, corporate governance and project management in my daily work day. In addition, the problem-solving techniques I have learned in CIMA courses have been of great value to me to discuss and address issues that often involve high levels of ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty.
How has your CIMA qualification helped your career?
CIMA No, I would not have been able to apply for my current role - being professionally qualified was a prerequisite.
I believe that the depth in the economic content of the CIMA course and addressing the establishment of business and problem solving has enriched my work experience and my existing qualifications. I consider financial roles focused on leadership in the future and the CIMA rating will help support this ambition.

Majority shareholder in Marsa Race Track consortium comes from Henley & Partners
The majority shareholder of the consortium that is investing 18 million euros in Marsa racetrack is a partner and a Henley & Partners Holdings Ltd group manager based in Jersey.
Henley and partners are the distributors of the Malta Capital Sales Program - Individual Investment Program (IPP) - which was controversial at the local level and to some extent at EU level. In October 2016, Justice Minister Owen Bonnici revealed that the controversial PII had generated 310.3 million euros. The PN had mentioned a number of allegations about the program in the past, including the one used to buy votes.
Hugh Morshead owns 72 000 shares (100 000) issued shares in the company registered in Malta, called Marsa Race Track Ltd., the consortium that will receive the runway concession.
On March 22 of this year, the government signed an agreement with Marsa Race Track Ltd for a concession on the Marsa track. The company, Marsa Race Track Ltd, has also been included on the same day. The consortium said it will develop a facility at the forefront of horse racing technology, which would include a family park. The prime minister said it was the largest private investment in the sports sector and that the project attracts thousands of tourists each year. The memorandum of understanding was signed in Castilla.
So far, only lawyer Pio Valletta was a member of the consortium, but this newsroom can now reveal another. In addition to Dr. Valetta and M. Morshead, British citizens, Kusam Sharma and Irish nationals, Aldred Kenneth Alexander, also have shares in Marsa Race Track Ltd. In addition, two companies: F. Schembri Holdings Ltd (a Maltese company- Company Owns 5,000 shares), owned by Frank Schembri and true to its type Ltd (Ireland-based company with 10 000 shares).
According to Henley and Associates website, Hugh Morshead is also a qualified accountant and an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, and relied on Jersey for many years. He has also registered as Henley Maltese company director and partners.
He addressed the international press of the Malta IIP program. For example, the EU Observer reported that M. Morshead said: "We have many advised the government regarding the creation of legal, promotion and implementation of our own malta office."
During the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, architect Edwin Mintoff said that once the necessary permits from the Planning Authority had been obtained, the project would require approximately 18 months to complete.
When asked if he would or would not publish the MOU, Dr. Valetta told the newsroom that they are not willing to publish it for the time being because there is a confidentiality clause. "This should be an agreed version. At this point, I do not think this is the scope for now. I do not think that's going to be a problem later." He said that once negotiations on the concession contract begin, which will be soon, this will probably be the time of its publication.
When asked if he had a problem of delivery of the MOU if the government had no objection, he said: "We would have no problem. There is no reason why anyone has a problem, if both parties agree."

Navigating the new normal: Measuring what matters in the value economy
Businesses have long relied on financial professionals to measure value and provide feedback on business decisions.
The role of finance and accounting is at the heart of measurement, transactions and the value of expression through concrete figures. For many years, this system has worked well, because business models focused on tangible issues, operations and properties.
However, more and more business models are born of technological problems, and converge towards something that is more futuristic, values-based and intangible. In this climate - economic value and knowledge - traditional measures are no longer applicable.
So how do CEOs make business decisions when they can not rely on traditional measures like finance and accounting have always been used? And how do financial executives find new ways to measure the value of making better decisions? In essence, how to navigate companies in the new normal value of the economy?
The ICP for intangible assets must consider some key elements: they must be measurable, have an impact on the activities and be linked to the specific data. According to a recent study by the American Institute of CPA (AICPA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), key performance indicators identified by companies measuring intangible assets are as follows:
Organizations today have to demonstrate the market the way they are different, and the customer is usually at the beginning and end of the value chain. Therefore, most value drivers must relate to the customer in one way or another. Therefore, according to the same research mentioned above, the top five factors to consider are:
For example, companies can use social analysis tools as a means to measure the equity of their brand or
The role of finance and accounting is at the heart of measurement, transactions and the value of expression through concrete figures. For many years, this system has worked well, because business models focused on tangible issues, operations and properties.
However, more and more business models are born of technological problems, and converge towards something that is more futuristic, values-based and intangible. In this climate - economic value and knowledge - traditional measures are no longer applicable.
There is a disconnection
There is a fundamental change that occurs between the time the finance and accounting have been and where it goes. Business models today are based on the creation of value to intangible assets. In the knowledge economy, organizations use their unique skills to meet the needs of their clients - this is where their value. Disconnection occurs when funding continues to try to measure value and success in a traditional way. The shoe no longer fits.So how do CEOs make business decisions when they can not rely on traditional measures like finance and accounting have always been used? And how do financial executives find new ways to measure the value of making better decisions? In essence, how to navigate companies in the new normal value of the economy?
Creating a new package
Finance and accounting should make some adjustments to better supporting organizations operating in the value-based economy. These companies need a new set of tools: a new way to measure value and success, and to make decisions. There are three key steps to building this new toolbox in your organization:1. Identify new key performance indicators
To understand and manage the value of your intangible assets, it is important to measure. This means identifying a new set of key performance indicators (KPIs). Although KPI must evolve, its application is an important starting point for controlling the company and its progress.The ICP for intangible assets must consider some key elements: they must be measurable, have an impact on the activities and be linked to the specific data. According to a recent study by the American Institute of CPA (AICPA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), key performance indicators identified by companies measuring intangible assets are as follows:
- Quality of data
- The return on invested capital (ROIC)
- Employee productivity
- Experience and customer satisfaction
- Employee Engagement and Withholding
- Competitive activity
- Pipeline and customer retention
- Brand awareness and equity
However, another ICR to consider include:
- Supply of talent
- Social commitment
- Social sentiment
- Effectiveness of Digital Marketing
2. Connect the key performance indicators to assess factors
It is important to also understand the value drivers behind the KPI is measured. In other words, how does this KPI really affect the business?Organizations today have to demonstrate the market the way they are different, and the customer is usually at the beginning and end of the value chain. Therefore, most value drivers must relate to the customer in one way or another. Therefore, according to the same research mentioned above, the top five factors to consider are:
- Customer satisfaction
- The quality of business processes
- Customer relations
- Quality of people (human capital)
- Brand reputation
3. Measure, measure, measure
In order to measure intangibles, companies have to establish links between financial results and prefinancing measures that they can use as main indicators, usually on the basis of a causal relationship or correlation. Going back to the first step, this means that your key performance indicators should be linked to the data, and you should be able to collect and analyze these data accurately to measure the value of your intangible assets. With advances in large data, there are now many more tools available to assemble, track and analyze intangibles than ever before.For example, companies can use social analysis tools as a means to measure the equity of their brand or

Can the creative industries help Ireland in post-Brexit world?
While Ireland is trying to prepare for the impact of the Brexit crash for the world economy, several industries are planning their way into some unknown waters.
Bernie Cullinan, CEO of Pragma Adviser and a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, thinks there may be a special role for the creative industries, as the impact of the UK's decision to leave the EU continues.
Pragma, which provides strategic planning for national and international companies, works with companies in various industries, including software, creative industries, professional services organizations, government, manufacturing, construction, sports and the nonprofit sector.
Cullinan sees the creative industries as key opportunities and plays a central role for Ireland in the post-Brexit era.
It is expected that funds for Creative Europe for this sector to reach 1.4 billion by 2020, but the Irish sector's funding by the Irish government should increase substantially, given heavy cuts during the recession. This is a sector in which there is a considerable multiplier effect, and the government has a very good value of its investment in the sector.
Award-winning animation studios to major Hollywood movies that revolve around the country of Ireland is already growing, but could grow even more as companies start looking outside of the UK.
"The film industry is a great example," Cullinan said. "The tax structure is now very favorable and after some initial problems in implementation, it attracts a lot of international interest in this industry.

Bernie Cullinan, CEO of Pragma Adviser and a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, thinks there may be a special role for the creative industries, as the impact of the UK's decision to leave the EU continues.
Pragma, which provides strategic planning for national and international companies, works with companies in various industries, including software, creative industries, professional services organizations, government, manufacturing, construction, sports and the nonprofit sector.
Cullinan sees the creative industries as key opportunities and plays a central role for Ireland in the post-Brexit era.
It is expected that funds for Creative Europe for this sector to reach 1.4 billion by 2020, but the Irish sector's funding by the Irish government should increase substantially, given heavy cuts during the recession. This is a sector in which there is a considerable multiplier effect, and the government has a very good value of its investment in the sector.
Award-winning animation studios to major Hollywood movies that revolve around the country of Ireland is already growing, but could grow even more as companies start looking outside of the UK.
"The film industry is a great example," Cullinan said. "The tax structure is now very favorable and after some initial problems in implementation, it attracts a lot of international interest in this industry.
