MAY-JUNE 2011

Baird appointed as president At the annual general meeting held at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, on 4 June, Mr Harold Baird FCMA was elected as president of CIMA. Mr Baird, a management accounting and business advisor, provides services to small-to-medium enterprises and not-for-profit organisations in Northern Ireland and is currently a director of the Methodist Publishing Company Limited and Belfast Activity Centre Limited. Formerly, he was a senior corporate planning accountant with Northern Ireland Electricity PLC which on privatisation became Viridian PLC. He has been extensively involved in the CIMA member network and was elected to council in June 2001 to represent Northern Ireland.

Mr Harold Baird FCMA, the newly elected President of CIMA.

Mr Baird said, ‘It is an honour to be elected as president of CIMA and I am certain it will be a fulfilling year. CIMA is entering into a joint venture with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which will raise the profile of the profession and be a passport for careers throughout the world. I am keen to further enhance the institute’s relevance and reputation by forging strong partnerships and working relationships both within the institute and externally. It has truly never been a better time to be a management accountant.’

Mr Gulzari Babber FCMA and Mr Malcolm Furber FCMA were elected deputy president and vice president respectively.

CIMA and AICPA joint venture CIMA and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) have agreed on the creation of a new professional designation, the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), that will be a worldwide standard of professional excellence in management accounting. It is proposed that the new CGMA letters will be issued to members early in 2012.

The joint venture, covering 550,000 members and students worldwide, will combine the strength of the AICPA in North America with CIMA’s presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and elsewhere.

Past CIMA President, Mr George Glass said, ‘We are delighted that management accountancy is to be given a strong new global impetus by this joint venture. This advances our strategic aim and will ensure management accountants, committed to strict ethical standards, will receive world-class support in a fast-globalising world.’ This sentiment was echoed by AICPA Chairman, Mr Paul Stahlin who said, ‘This is truly an historic moment for the accounting profession worldwide. Our joint venture with CIMA creates long-term strategic value and literally opens up the world for US CPAs in management accounting.’

CIMA launched its new Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Islamic Finance at the Corporate Leadership in Islamic Finance event on 21 June. The event was co-hosted by UCSI University and Amanie Advisors, a globally recognised Shari’ah advisory firm, at the UCSI Blue Ocean Strategy Hall in Kuala Lumpur. It follows the successful launch of CIMA’s Certificate in Islamic Finance four years ago, which, following a detailed review, has been re-graded to the CIMA Diploma in Islamic Finance. The four modules of the Diploma will be offered as certificates in their own right. The new Advanced Diploma is based upon a top level case study.

Preceding the launch of the Diploma and Advanced Diploma were two panel sessions entitled ‘Positioning Malaysia as the leading international hub for Islamic finance: challenges and what it takes’ and ‘Human capital development as the key driver for Islamic finance growth: addressing the industry’s need’. The panel sessions were moderated respectively by Mr Effendy Rahaman and Mr Razi Pahlavi, both from Amanie Advisors.

In his speech, Mr Venkkat Ramanan, Head of CIMA Malaysia, highlighted that CIMA sees the Islamic finance market as particularly important, with its current global value estimated at greater than $1.1 trillion. Its continued growth needs to be funded by appropriately trained, new human capital and Malaysia, as a leader in the development of the Islamic finance industry, needs to develop this skilled workforce to meet its own demands, fuel growth and maintain its position internationally.

Also speaking at the event was Dr Mohd Daud Bakar, an international Shari’ah expert, President and CEO at Amanie and the International Institute of Islamic Finance Inc as well as consultant on both the CIMA Diploma in Islamic Finance and the new Advanced Diploma.

Updates from CIMA Rise in number of finance employees globally

Embrace technology in business

Research by the Centre of Excellence at the University of Bath School of Management states that the finance function is set to grow internationally with over 30% of those surveyed expecting the number of finance employees in their organisation to increase over the next five years. The full survey results are included in the report Finance and organisational performance, shaping the future supported by Hays Senior Finance. This report is based on substantive global data with input from more than 4,000 finance and senior managers.

Management accountants must adopt Enterprise Web 2.0 collaborative technologies (the streamlining of business processes via the use of social-media tools) if they are to enhance their customer accounting practices in the future, according to a recent report by CIMA. Entitled Adopting Enterprise Web 2.0 collaborative technologies in business: The implications for management accountants the report concluded that even in companies that were early adopters of Enterprise Web 2.0 technologies, few accountants were systemically using social networking, but those that did reported improvements in their effectiveness. The report was officially launched on 13 June at Microsoft’s London headquarters.

A healthy 84% of respondents saying they do not expect to see any reduction in the number of finance staff employed within their organisations. Over 50% of large firms said that they would expect staff time and staff numbers dedicated to management support to increase.

This is highlighted by over 40% of them saying they would also expect the same of management accounting. The downside being that 33% of those surveyed would expect job cuts in accounting operations as a result. Yet there are encouraging signs for career and salary progression with 67% of respondents reporting that those who do undertake management support activities are better remunerated and promoted faster.

Ms Naomi Smith, Research and Development Manager, CIMA, commented, ‘The profession is experiencing a generational effect emerging as both trainee accountants and newly qualified professionals are using technologies more extensively than others. By utilising these tools, we are giving more power to employees to create their own way of organising knowledge, workplaces, and business processes.’
