University wins Global Bronze Award at CIMA Excellence Awards
The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has won a Global Bronze Award at the second edition of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Excellence Awards.
The annual CIMA Excellence Awards recognise institutions and individuals across the world who go above and beyond to shape the next generation of Chartered Global Management Accountants and lead the accounting profession into the future.
The CIMA Prize-winner Excellence Award celebrates academic partner institutions that have produced graduates who have gone on to be placed in the top four in the three levels of CIMA exams. In this instance, a former student has gone onto present a prize-winning paper.
"We are delighted that we have helped one of our students develop the skills, knowledge and understanding to present a prize-winning paper for the Strategic Level Case Study."
