Ajman University's Accounting Program Earns Prestigious CGMA Future-Ready Academic Validation
International recognition affirms the program's alignment with the future of the global accounting profession
Ajman University's Bachelor of Science in Accounting has been awarded the CGMA Future-Ready Academic Validation Seal, an international distinction conferred by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA & CIMA). Awarded following a rigorous external review, the validation recognizes programs that prepare graduates for a profession being reshaped by artificial intelligence, digital transformation, sustainability, and data-driven decision-making.
The recognition confirms that Ajman University's curriculum aligns with the competencies underpinning the CGMA Professional Qualification, integrating digital technologies, analytics, integrated reporting, and sustainability throughout the student learning experience. Rather than treating these as emerging specializations, the program embeds them within the core educational framework that prepares graduates for contemporary professional practice.
The validation further strengthens an already distinguished international accreditation profile. Ajman University's College of Business Administration is accredited by AACSB International, placing it among a select group of business schools worldwide to achieve this distinction. The Bachelor of Science in Accounting also holds accreditation from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA, UK), CPA Australia, and CIMA. Together, these recognitions position the program among the UAE's most internationally benchmarked accounting degrees, ensuring graduates develop competencies that are recognized across leading professional bodies and aligned with the evolving expectations of employers worldwide.
Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, said: “In a rapidly evolving global economy, the relevance of a university is defined by how effectively it prepares graduates for professions that are continuously transforming. Achieving that requires sustained alignment between academic programs and the evolving expectations of industry and society. The CGMA Future-Ready Academic Validation affirms that our Accounting program reflects this philosophy, equipping graduates with the competencies, perspective, and professional agility required to create value in an increasingly complex global economy.”
As technological innovation, evolving regulatory frameworks, and sustainability imperatives continue to redefine the accounting profession, Ajman University will continue to review and strengthen its curriculum in partnership with global professional bodies and industry stakeholders, ensuring graduates remain equipped to succeed in an increasingly dynamic international economy.
