Gulzari Lal Babber has been elected as the
president of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
(CIMA).

He has been a member of CIMA since 1984 and
has most recently served as a council member.

Babber has previously chaired CIMA’s members’
marketing committee, the professional standards and the technical
committee.

Babber said he is looking to build on CIMA’s
success.

“With a rise in university fees and difficult
economic conditions CIMA’s relevance continues to grow. I am
excited to be leading CIMA’s membership during a time of global
change and strengthening our joint venture with AICPA,” he
said.

CIMA’s members also elected Malcolm Furber as
deputy president and Keith Luck as vice president.
