2 Dear Potential Sponsor, 2017 is a year of expectation and positive change for the CGMA designation and the management accountancy profession as a whole. Through the formation of the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) a Joint Venture of the American Institute of CPAs and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), CGMAs now form part of a network of current and future business leaders, accounting professionals and students that the Association represents. We are proud to be part of this Association through which we aim to increase the representation of CGMA across the world. CIMA will this year host its CGMA Africa Inaugural Conference on September at the Sandton Convention Centre in Gauteng, Johannesburg. The Conference, which is the first CGMA conference in Africa is themed: Leading the way in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world. It will draw on the expertise of business leaders across Africa to firstly identify and discuss key issues in business in the current climate. Secondly, define future strategies for business sectors across Africa and propose solutions to dealing with the disruptive future. As a highlight of the CGMA Africa calendar for 2017, the conference is set to host over 500 thought and business leaders comprising of C-Suite executives (CEOs, CFOs), accounting and finance professionals, consultants, policy and standard setters and representatives of professional bodies from across Africa. The conference will create a sound environment in South Africa particularly Johannesburg while providing a platform to boost Pan-African trade and partnerships. Our sponsors will have the opportunity to showcase their products and offering and the sponsorship packages have been designed to return the utmost value for you.
