Dubai, U.A.E. Branch Activities

The 15th CMA program was conducted by Wisdom Institute in Dubai in November 2014. The program was again facilitated by Professor Janek Ratnatunga, the CEO of ICMA Australia. It was a lively 7-days of intensive leaning on the strategic issues of management accounting. Once again, the participants were extremely senior professionals from leading companies in the Gulf region including: the Al Tayer Group; Gulf Cement; Emirates C.A Group- Dubai; Abu Dhabi Airports Co; A&H Al Ghurair Group; Dubai Investment Real Estate; Al Hijaz Fire Fighting LLC;  Abdul Latif Jamil Ltd Co.; Safari Trading Co. LLC; Edgen Murray FZE; Khan Saheb Civil Engrg LLC; Intesa Sanpaolo; and the Abu Dhabi Vocational Education and Training Institute.

The picture below is the student group with Professor Ratnatunga celebrating the end of 7-days that many said gave them “practical insights that could be immediately implemented in their organisations”.d1

Unfortunately, once again, there was only one lady participant, Ms. Vinitha Balakrishnan, who is pictured below with the good professor.
