All the participating teams will then go through a workshop and assessment programme towards achieving their global certification and title in CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting. The Challenge priced at USD 2,397 includes a number of practical sessions that supports critical thinking and decision-making which candidates can apply in any business environment.
Geetu Ahuja, Head of Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, CIMA said: “We identified a need in the market for working executives aspiring towards leadership profiles who could benefit from a challenging, exciting and a concise training programme where they could brush-up on the basics and upskill themselves to be more relevant in today’s competitive business environment. We have addressed this need promptly by hosting the CIMA Corporate Business Challenge initiative. The response we received has been phenomenal and we hope candidates can add value to their organisations and make a positive impact through our workshops.”
