The World-Class C-Suite CMA program was conducted in Toronto, Canada on May 24-30, 2025. It was a return to Canada after a 17-year break, thanks to the untiring efforts by the Registered Professional Accountants (RPAs) of Canada to overcome many legal and logistical obstacles. The CMA intensive program organised by RPA President Mr. Zubair Choudhry and his dynamic team. The program was facilitated by Professor Janek Ratnatunga, the CEO and Dr Chris D’Souza, ICMA Deputy CEO & CFO of ICMA(ANZ).
