CIMA North Asia regional board
Recent changes agreed by CIMA’s council aim to bring the institute closer to local market conditions and provide the regional autonomy and empowerment essential to meet council’s objectives.
The council approved the formation of the North Asia regional board (NARB) in July 2011, and the new structure became effective from 31 October 2011. The NARB is made up of representatives that can come from mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Kazakhstan, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
CIMA wishes to ensure that it engages with and takes advantage of local conditions which are best understood by CIMA members and staff locally who are thus empowered to propose their own governance rules to meet CIMA council’s objectives. The NARB is empowered by council and is dedicated to overseeing CIMA’s agreed strategy in the North Asian market.
