ˇ§The shock created by the pandemic has accelerated the transformation of our profession to meet the demands of an ever-changing business world, harness the power of new and emerging technologies, and to remain at the forefront of business decision making for years to come.

ˇ§AICPA & CIMA have worked tirelessly over the past five years to ensure that we train the management and public accountants the world needs. And now more than ever, we are here to support them to embrace change and innovation, evolve their skills and competencies and to create more value as strategic partners for their businesses.

ˇ§As accounting professionals, we must step out of our own comfort zones and dare to help our businesses navigate paths out of the crises many now face, and build a more resilient and sustainable future for both our businesses and all of their stakeholders.ˇ¨

Paul became a CIMA member in 1981 and was awarded his fellowship in 1986. He first volunteered with CIMA during the mid-1980s while with the London Stock Exchange, where he initiated and managed a CIMA-approved training programme and was a founder member of the CIMA City Interest Group.

In 2013, Paul was elected to CIMA Council for the Central and Southern England area. In addition, he was a member of the inaugural governing Board of the Association, served on CIMAˇ¦s Membership, Global Markets and Executive Committees and was Vice Chairman of the CIMA Benevolent Fund Committee. Paul also served as Chairman of the Associationˇ¦s Lifelong Learning Committee, where he helped lead the changes required to drive CIMAˇ¦s syllabus into the digital age.

He worked his way up to become Chief Accountant and led the changes that were necessary to the Exchangeˇ¦s reporting systems during the deregulation of the financial securities markets in 1986.

Following a 12-year career in the City, Paul returned to industry and commerce undertaking corporate finance roles with British Gas plc and Greenergy International Limited, before joining Institute for International Research (IIR) as Group Finance Director in 1996.
