IMA collaborates with KSA’s Financial Academy to bridge the skills gap

IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) and Saudi Arabia's Financial Academy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in an effort to further professional initiatives for both organizations. As part of the collaboration, the Financial Academy and IMA will create awareness on the importance of skills development and the need for the CMA (Certified Management Accountant) certification, through seminars, workshops, conferences and research initiatives. 

The MoU was signed by Hanadi Khalife, IMA's senior director of Middle East and India operations, and Mana Al-Khamsan, director general of the Financial Academy. The partnership aims to advance the academy's objectives to promote professional development of its members in the finance and accounting professions. IMA and the Financial Academy will jointly promote IMA membership and resources, including its CMA certification and the Financial Academy's programs.
