World-class CIMA students win world prizes

Shiromy Ali and Hazir Shafeek continued the global dominance of Sri Lankan CIMA students when they recently snagged world prizes for their recent examination performances.

As young individuals looking to rapidly ascend the corporate ladder, the world-renowned finance qualification has been a perfect fit for Shiromy, Hazir, and thousands of like-minded students around the world.

Indeed, surveys of global business leaders have shown that CIMA, the world's largest professional body of management accountants, offers the most relevant finance qualification for those looking to excel in the business and corporate spheres.

'In celebrating Shiromy's and Hazir's incredible achievements, the global accountancy body has recognised not only their consistent excellence, but also the fact that the quality of their local education has placed them among the world's very best.

Shiromy and Hazir paid tribute to the tireless work of the lecturers at their respective CIMA institutes. Befitting their outsized achievements, Shiromy and Hazir also harbour impressive ambitions.

Noting the dearth of highly qualified local entrepreneurs, Shiromy stated her desire to help in the economic and social development of the country by becoming a leading businesswoman.

As a final year student reading for her Bachelor of Business Administration Degree at the University of Colombo, this enterprising young woman's more immediate plans involve completing her degree with first class honours and joining the corporate sector.

Upon getting considerable working experience under her belt, Shiromy also wishes to obtain her Master's degree in Business Administration.
