CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) is the world’s largest professional body of management accountants. Four VU students participated in this year's 'CIMA global business challenge' competition. Participants prepare and present relevant, well considered recommendations and solutions to a fictitious business scenario.

The VU team were made up of Jenni Truong(Team leader), Cathy Gong, Nancy Jiafan and Elaine Bie, with Dr. Jayce Naidoo their mentor. It was a great opportunity for the students to showcase their talents in business management, and they excelled in the challenge of the competition.

The first round involves several teams from universities from all over Australia competing to reach the top four. The four teams then compete at the national finals, where the winning team is sent to represent Australia at the international finals in Sri Lanka.

Although our students did not qualify, they submitted a very strong entry. We'd like to commend the VU team for their participation and dedication to the quality report submitted. They've done the School of Accounting and Finance, and VU, proud!
