Paul Aninakwah, Country Director for Ghana, Benin, Cameroon and Sierra Leone, at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, representing AICPA & CIMA, said: “Awards and graduation ceremonies are very important to us as AICPA & CIMA, and I am happy that once again we have been able to acknowledge the achievements of our candidates, and award a new group of future finance leaders with their CGMA designation. Their new designatory letters are a passport to the next part of their journey as key advisers to businesses. Their CGMA designation and CIMA membership are recognised and trusted by many of the biggest and best-known employers around the world. And in an era where trust is undermined by uncertainty and misinformation, these give them and their skills credibility”.
Tariro Mutizwa, Regional Vice President–Africa at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, representing AICPA & CIMA, commented: “It is a pleasure to welcome new members in our extended family of over 689,000 AICPA and CIMA members, candidates and engaged professionals worldwide. Like any family, we are a very mixed group of people, with different backgrounds, from different countries, with diverse perspectives and opinions. However, what we have in common are the values that underpin our work. We act with integrity and honesty, we provide and use accurate and objective information, and we conduct ourselves with fairness and impartiality. They reflect the highest standards of quality and professionalism, which are core to being a Chartered Global Management Accountant”.
