Forms Sixth Chapter in the European RegionVienna, Austria, 6 February 2012 - Austrian Controller Institute (OECI) is pleased to announce that it is partnering with IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) to form IMA’s sixth European chapter in Austria. The new chapter will be domiciled at OECI in Vienna and will benefit from the experience and local know-how, reputation, and marketing efforts of OECI. The organizational meeting to form the Austrian chapter successfully took place in Vienna on 26 January, at a pre-meeting of "Controllertag," the 32nd annual conference of OECI.
At the organizational meeting, the articles of agreement for the chapter were signed and the committee elected the following chapter officers: Christian Kreuzer, president; Rita Niedermayr-Kruse, president-elect; Pascal Peter, CMA, vice president; Birgit Nöhammer, secretary/treasurer; and Jana Krčmářová, professional education Lead. Other key members of the chapter’s organizational committee include Klaus Furthmayr, Albin Hahn (Manner), Michael Heinisch (Vinzenz Gruppe), Siegfried Mayrhofer (A1 Telekom Austria), Christof Müller (Generali Holding), Michaela Novak-Chaid (Hewlett Packard), and Karlheinz Zügner (Erste Bank).
"The partnership with OECI is a wonderful opportunity for our current Austrian members. Through its important location in Vienna and OECI´s extensive experience in Eastern Europe, the cooperation will support IMA´s outreach to our members there and increase awareness of the CMA certification program in both Austria and Eastern Europe,” said Nina Michels-Kim, CMA, IMA director of European operations.
"OECI is happy to further internationalize our perspective and offerings by partnering with IMA. OECI embraces this opportunity to develop controlling beyond its traditional boundaries and tap new markets in management accounting and offer new and attractive products to its customers. We realized that there are many commonalities between the two organizations and we are happy to support the launch of the new IMA Austrian chapter," stated Christian Kreuzer, Ph.D., managing director of OECI.
The new Austrian chapter will be formally launched on April 18 when current IMA Global Chair, Brian Mc Guire, Ph.D., CMA, CPA, CBM, CITP will present the chapter with its IMA charter in person at OECI´s annual member’s meeting.
