CIMA Sri Lanka celebrates 60 years of excellence in finance and business
Daily FT
|July 24, 2025
THIS year marks an important milestone for The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) in Sri Lanka as we celebrate six decades of empowering Sri Lanka's most highly skilled accounting and finance professionals to support their businesses, communities, and economies to thrive and succeed.
Today, the island is home to one of the largest communities of CIMA members and CGMA candidates worldwide, a long way from our humbler beginning with just 22 members in 1965. From the outset, we have championed innovation, resilience, and leadership.
Over the past six decades, we have supported thousands of Sri Lankans to build their dream careers in finance and business, both in Sri Lanka and overseas. In addition, three Sri Lankans have served as CIMA President - Aubrey Joachim (2009-2010), Amal Ratnayake (2019-2020), and Melanie Janine Kanaka (2022-2023) showcasing the country's impact and influence on the global finance profession.
Our journey has been one of growth and resilience, transformation and impact-generation after generation. Though we have certainly transformed over the past six decades, our core purpose remains unchanged: we empower Sri Lanka's brightest minds to drive sustainable success for their organisations, their communities, and the country.
