CIMA+AICPA: joining forces
CIMA+AICPA = more value from CGMA
‘Being the most relevant organisation in the
management accounting space’
• To ensure management accounting is seen as a
critical driver of long term business success
• For the CGMA Global Management Accounting
Principles to be prevalent in successful private and
public sector organisations
• To foster a growing professional CGMA community
committed to lifelong learning underpinned by market
based research

organisation: business model, infrastructure, people
and resources for CIMA and the joint venture
CIMA+AICPA = stronger together
GMAPs: four core principles
Principle 1: influence
When the right people have
the right information at the
right time, they are better
placed to take decisions that
will drive long-term value
generation.
Principle 2: relevance
Management accounting
scans the best available
resources for information that
is relevant to the decision that
needs to be taken, the person
making the decision and the
decision style or process being
used.
Principle 3: value
Management accounting
provides a thorough
understanding of the
organisation’s strategic aims,
stakeholder needs and
agreed targets - ensuring that
actions are prioritised by
value rather than cost.
Principle 4: trust
People who
consistently adhere to
good values and best
practice become
trusted guardians of
an organisation’s
value.
The view of Unilever CEO Paul Polman:
KEEP
CALM AND
‘CARRY
ON AS
UNUSUAL’
