Fifty-seven teams from nine Nigerian universities have entered the Chartered Global Management Accountants(CGMA) Business Leader Challenge 2024, a regional business competition aimed at empowering undergraduates.
Organised by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) together as the association of international certified professional accountants, but sponsored by Coronation Merchant Bank and Stanbic IBTC Bank, the business innovation challenge is also aimed at producing business men and women across the country.
The teams will be asked to solve real-life business challenges and present them to a panel of senior executives in finance and business management.
The CGMA Business Leader Challenge provides young Nigerian talent with an opportunity to enhance their business, leadership, and problem-solving skills, and showcase their potential as future accounting, finance, digital, and business leaders.
Ijeoma Anadozie, Associate Director in Nigeria at AICPA & CIMA, said:
“At AICPA & CIMA, we are dedicated to nurturing and empowering up-and-coming finance, accounting, and business professionals, so we are thrilled to host the second edition of the CGMA Business Leader Challenge in Nigeria. Last years the competition was a resounding success, with 30 teams competing for victory. We expect the same enthusiasm from this years cohort as they put their skills to the test and learn the crucial values of teamwork, communication, and strong leadership.”
