CMA magazine social responsibility issue online now

Read about sustainability reporting, lessons from basketball, managing workplace conflict

TORONTO, July 3, 2012 /CNW/ - The July/August issue of CMA magazine is now available online at http://cmamagazine.dgtlpub.com/?i=2278.The focus of this issue is on corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Published by CMA Canada, CMA magazine is a must-read for accountants and business professionals interested in the latest trends in accounting, management and strategy.

"With physical and financial assets representing just 20 per cent of capital value today, preserving and reporting on the value of intangible assets has become a big part of the role of many CMAs," says Mara Gulens, CMA magazine's editor-in-chief. "CMAs nowadays are also just as likely to be experts in regulation, disclosure and environmental management."

This issue of CMA magazine explores corporate sustainability reporting. There's also advice on how businesses can gain the sustainability edge, and a lighthearted piece on how CMAs can apply lessons learned from basketball to accounting.

• Tips for managing workplace conflict, a prerequisite for high-performing teams.
• A financial innovation award celebrates excellence in the Canadian government.
• Our new Spectrum column offers advice on management accounting competencies.
• The London Olympics: A case study in saving the planet.
