weather the current economic storm alongside special
guest, CIMA President, Andrew Miskin.
Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) will
be hosting a panel discussion on Alberta’s economy
through the eyes of Canada’s finest financial
minds. The event will provide guests with an opportunity
to listen and share their views on unravelling Alberta’s
provincial economic future within a global spectrum.
Andrew Miskin, CIMA President states:
"CGMAs bring competitive advantage to their
organisations, as they are uniquely qualified to tackle
rapid changes and increasing competition in global markets.
By going beyond the financials, CGMAs focus on strategy
and ask: Are we doing the right things? This is a necessity
in the current Albertan economic climate."
The event features guests from all realms of the financial
world including Craig Wright who is Senior Vice President
and Chief Economist RBC; Nola Heal ACMA who is CFO and
VP at FLYHT Aerospace Solutions and Ian Murphy ACMA
