Accounting Is a Team Sport
-
The economy runs on a web of regulators, universities, employers, industries, and professional bodies — all shaping the work accountants do.
-
When these players work in silos, businesses fail. Opportunities are lost, jobs disappear, and GDP shrinks.
-
CIBA brings the players together. We connect accountants to regulators, industry bodies, and employers, making sure you’re in the right place, with the right skills, at the right time.
