MONTVALE, N.J., August 27, 2024 — IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), the worldwide association of accountants and financial professionals in business, is expanding its membership offerings with a corporate membership program that provides holistic training and resources for entire teams in organizations.
With an IMA corporate membership, organizations will empower their employees with in-demand skills through IMA’s comprehensive continuing education and certification programs. Each corporate membership will be tailored to meet the unique needs of the participating organizations, creating highly engaged teams that are set up for success. The program provides the opportunity for even more professionals to experience IMA’s global member value that has benefited thousands of individuals in accounting and finance in its 105-year history.
“The constant advancements in technology and changes in the workplace require a need for teams to be upskilling on an ongoing basis,” said Mike DePrisco, president and CEO at IMA. “Our new corporate membership is designed to effectively develop talent, focusing on the latest business trends and making team members integral to the success of their organizations. When companies provide turnkey solutions to develop their teams based on their needs, it becomes an impactful tool that engages and retains staff, and an IMA corporate membership is a great way to give your organization a competitive edge.”
With a corporate membership, organizations will pay one flat rate to enroll their teams as IMA members. Their teams will have access to IMA’s extended on-demand course library, which is continually updated with expert content on hot topics and trends, as well as live member-only webinars.
