CIMA’s Research InitiativeAs a world-leading authority, CIMA’s research programme is specifically designed to promote and develop the science of management accounting. Our position as the voice of global management accountancy is enhanced by our research programme, which generates cutting edge, high calibre and authoritative results that have immediate practical influence and value.

* Two of the world’s most prestigious accounting bodies, AICPA and CIMA, have formed a joint venture to establish the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation to elevate the profession of management accountant. The designation recognises the most talented and committed management accountants with the discipline and skill to drive strong business performance.

This year, CIMA is therefore looking to fund innovative research that challenges and offers fresh perspectives on a range of topics that are of interest to CIMA members.

• Corporate social responsibility • CFO priorities • Future of management accounting • Valuing talent - cost of losing and retaining talent • Tomorrow’s finance talent and competencies • Strategy, risk and opportunity management • Resilient business models • Managing mega data • Cloud computing, IT and its impact on the profession

We would also advise that applicants refer to the CGMA* Innovation Outlook prior to application at http://www.cgma.org/Resources/Reports/Pages/innovation-outlook.aspx

The closing date for applications is 15th October 2012.
