YANGON, Myanmar, Aug. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirty five students in Myanmar received scholarships from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the world's largest professional body of management accountants, to pursue the certificate level of the CIMA professional qualification.
