Professor Paolo Quattrone, said:
"We are pleased to partner with CIMA to host the 2015 President’s Conference, at what is a critical juncture for management accounting practice.
"Reflecting on business models to govern beyond compliance and deliver benefit not only to shareholders, but society as a whole, has become an imperative for organisations.
"But this cannot be achieved without a better appreciation of how value is created and distributed. Management accounting holds the key to improving our understanding of this value, and how it is reported."
