Make an independent contribution to professional standards.

CIMA is seeking Lay Members to join its Conduct Committees as independent decision makers. Committee members play a vital role in considering complaints of professional misconduct involving CIMA members and students, participating in meetings and hearings, and helping to determine appropriate outcomes. Committee members receive a fee for attendance.

About the role

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to CIMA’s public interest responsibilities and help maintain confidence in the profession. Members are expected to approach each case fairly, objectively, and impartially, bringing sound judgement and the confidence to express an independent view during Committee discussions and hearings.

Who should apply

We welcome applications from individuals with sound judgement, strong analytical skills and the ability to consider complex issues carefully. Experience of disciplinary, regulatory, tribunal, governance or other quasi-judicial decision-making is desirable. Applicants should be able to commit sufficient time to prepare for and attend hearings and meetings. To maintain the independence of the Committees, applicants must not currently be, or have previously been, involved in the governance of the Institute including CIMA Council and its Committees. You must be based in the UK.

Our commitment to diversity

CIMA is committed to diversity and welcomes applications from as broad a range of people as possible, so that Committee members reflect the diversity of the individuals we regulate. Applicants should be able to consider the views of others without bias and demonstrate a clear commitment to acting in the public interest.
