Lanka to host CIMA Technical symposium

Early next year CIMA Sri Lanka will be hosting the first Regional Technical Symposium in Colombo, which will attract over 700 members of CIMA and the business community both from Sri Lanka and the Asian Region.

It is designed to address technical matters of corporate and national interest spanning the Asian region. This event is scheduled to take place at the BMICH, main hall on 13 and 14 February 2009.

The audience for the Regional Technical Symposium would include CFOs and other top finance professionals from countries such as India, China, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, the Middle East and the UK.

The objectives of the symposium is to create awareness and stimulate an interest among the participants on management accounting and related subjects, to provide participants a forum to deliberate on broad technical issues and to address the perceived gap between the theory and practice of management accounting and to spur the participants to develop their potential further which would enable them to perform better and add value to their stakeholders in business.

The conference would have an excellent diverse cross section of internationally and regionally acclaimed paper presenters who would share their own perspective through comprehensive papers and presentations.

The Keynote Address on ‘Value creation - the corporate raison d’etre’ will be delivered by Prof. Falconer Mitchell.
