Institute of Business Management (IoBM), Karachi has become the latest institution to be welcomed to the CFA Institute University Recognition Program. According to IoBM Public Affairs Section, CFA Association, USA has approved IoBM's application for grant of recognition to its BS (Accounting and Finance) Program. IoBM is only the third institute/university in Pakistan to be awarded this prestigious recognition; IBA and LUMS being the other two.

IoBM's BS (Accounting & Finance Program) has been acknowledged as incorporating at least 70 percent of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and placing emphasis on the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice within the program. This program positions students well to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, which has become the most respected and recognised investment credential in the world.

Entry into the CFA Institute University Recognition Program signals to potential students, employers, and the marketplace that IoBM's curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well-suited to preparing students to sit for the CFA examinations. Through participation in this program, IoBM is eligible to receive a limited number of student scholarships for the CFA Program each year.

Earlier IoBM has been rated among top business schools by the Chartered Inspection and Evaluation Committee, Government of Sindh. IoBM stands among the top business schools in the Quantitative Assessment of the Quality Enhancement Cell of the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Government of Pakistan. IoBM has obtained a total score 96.5 percent for the period ending June 30, 2013.

EdUniversal, Paris, a leading international body regarding ranking of business schools, has well distinguished IoBM in its Masters Ranking 2013/2014! IoBM has also received Best Internal Quality Assurance Award from Asian Pacific Quality Network (APQN) in Taiwan recently. IoBM has potential affiliations with concerned international associations and mutually rewarding international student exchange programs with leading universities in Europe and in the Far East.-PR
