Without professional competencies, the CBA would be unable to translate ideas into action or bring influence to bear on the business challenges facing companies and individuals.

  • Networking & Resourcing
  • Recognized Expertise

Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge

Most professionals have a solid knowledge base in the principles, standards and practices of their particular field or discipline. The CBA credential differs from other credentials in that it requires a broad and interdisciplinary portfolio of business knowledge and functional expertise. While the CBA professional is not expected to be an expert in each content area, he/she offers an understanding of concepts, practices, implications and inter-relationships among multiple business disciplines such as: Accountancy, Business Law and Business Planning.
