Dr. Salim clarified why large business groups must appoint cost and management accountants (CMAs) to foster efficiency and reduce business costs. 

Specifically, he highlighted the role of CMAs as value creators, value generators, value finders, value keepers, value reporters, and value providers across various industries. Further, he emphasized the business acumen of CMAs, which might be crucial in handling technicalities, managing businesses, forecasting potentialities, and supporting strategic decision-making processes.   

The response from these influential business leaders was overwhelmingly positive. They expressed their appreciation for the ICMAB’s initiative and thanked the President for introducing CMAs and their capabilities. Importantly, they reassured the President that they would prioritize CMAs in their future job circulars, a testament to the confidence they have in the value that CMAs can bring to their organizations.
