Message

I am happy to share this message as the Journal committee chairman
of the Certified Management Accountants of Sri Lanka which recently
celebrated two decades of existence as the only National Management
Accounting body of Sri Lanka. It has been at the forefront in developing
the management accounting professionals in Sri Lanka.

CMA Sri Lanka has taken initiatives during this difficult times,
especially supporting the SME’s who are major creators of employment
opportunities in the country and made several representations to the
relevant authorities on behalf of different sectors. We hope these will
be implemented within the coming months.

CMA Sri Lanka has provided opportunities for its members, and
the leaders of different sectors, to share their valuable experience
by providing articles to the journal for the public, in managing and
overcoming the current environment .

CMA Sri Lanka conducts interesting seminars via zoom almost every
week, free of charge to our members, students and the general
public. In this backdrop,we are releasing our journal through the virtual
platform created by the new normal situation due to COVID.
I take this opportunity to thank Prof. Lakshman R Watawala, founder
President of CMA Sri Lanka for providing dynamic leadership during
this pandemic period.We greatly appreciate the authors who took the
initiative to submit valuable articles.Finally my sincere thanks goes to
the Council members and most importantly the CEO and staff of CMA
Sri Lanka. Without them this journal would have not been possible.
