The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), the world’s leading association representing the management accounting profession, will host its third Annual Global Conference in Dubai.

Registration is now open at IMA’s Global Conference website at www.imadubai.ae. The event will be held from May 5 to 7, 2008, at the JW Marriott, Dubai.

For the third consecutive year in Dubai, IMA promises three full days of engaging talks and nearly 20 practical sessions covering governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), knowledge management, convergence of global reporting standards (IFRS/GAAP/Islamic Banking), CMA exam prep tips and tools, strategic cost management, planning and budgeting, and financial leadership. 

“IMA’s Global Conference is the association’s preeminent international event, demonstrating the importance of properly trained and certified accountants inside organisations and the issues affecting the profession,” said ACMA, IMA president and CEO Paul A. Sharman.

“As compared to comparable events, IMA’s Global Conference is the best value in the market with more opportunities for education and professional networking.”

Accounting and finance professionals have the opportunity to earn up to 18 CPE units, attain knowledge to improve job performance, and network with colleagues from around the world.  IMA’s past two Global Conferences in Dubai were well received, with nearly 150 attendees at each event.  – TradeArabia News Service
