About

In 1919, the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA®), then known as the National Association of Cost Accountants, was the first organization established to conduct research for the management accounting profession. Through excellence in research, the IMA provides business decision makers with information of strategic importance. More than 500 researchers have produced more than 250 studies.

In recognition of the vital role of IMA's research, The IMA Foundation for Applied Research, Inc. (FAR) was formed in 1994, IMA's 75th anniversary year. The founding trustee's intent was to ensure sufficient resources, both human and financial, to sustain and augment IMA's role as a valued center of research on the most important practice issues of the day while also identifying financial management trends to meet the challenges of the next millennium.

As of November 2011, IMA's Foundation for Applied Research (FAR) was renamed IMA's Research Foundation.

Funding Sources

Funding for IMA's Research Foundation, a 501(c)(3), nonprofit, educational organization, is derived from support by the business community and individuals. Contributors are recognized in IMA's monthly magazine, Strategic Finance.
