ASE Bucharest gets new CIMA program, a qualification highly appreciated by employers

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), one of the world's largest professional bodies of management accountants, strengthens its presence in Romania by sealing a strategic partnership with the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE)
