FLP 189. Launch of the new Foundational Level

Author: AICPA & CIMA April 19, 2023 Duration: 17:05

To mark the introduction of the new Foundational Level entry point into the CGMA Finance Leadership Program (FLP), we're joined by Doug Bowman, Senior Manager of Learning Content Creation at AICPA & CIMA. We talk about the Foundational Level, how it's structured, what it is, and how it's positioned within the program.   

This new entry point is a preparatory level to introduce the key concepts of Business & Finance; it allows any candidate to start their journey to their CGMA Professional Qualification even though they may not yet have the relevant experience or qualifications.

This is a podcast from AICPA & CIMA, together as the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants.

 


Navigating the path to becoming a Chartered Global Management Accountant involves more than just technical knowledge-it demands leadership. FLP, the Finance Leadership Podcast, from AICPA & CIMA, is here for that journey. Evolving from the Go Beyond Disruption show in late 2022, this podcast focuses squarely on the Finance Leadership Programme, the innovative route to the CGMA designation. Each episode cuts through the noise to deliver timely, actionable insights and essential updates directly related to the FLP pathway. You’ll hear discussions that help bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical, strategic mindset required of modern finance leaders. Whether you're actively enrolled in the programme or considering it, the conversations here are designed to clarify the process, tackle challenges, and explore what it truly means to lead in finance today. Tune in for a resource that feels less like a formal lecture and more like a regular check-in with experts who understand exactly what you're working toward.
