Summary/Abstract: With the advent of the digital age, the role of management accounting professionals has changed significantly, shifting its focus from activities related to information gathering, reporting, analysis and interpretation, to creating influence and impact. This, in turn, has had an impact on the range of knowledge, skills and competences that professionals should acquire and develop in order to adapt and achieve successful career development. The report presents the conceptual views and initiatives taken in recent years by the professional body CIMA for the training and career development of management accountants in the digital age, as an adequate response to the key changes in their role and required competencies.
