Books24x7 has partnered with the publishing arm of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants

Books24x7 - the online book and Referenceware specialist - has partnered with the publishing arm of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants to offer a range of financial titles to UK accountants.

Rather than having to spend time looking through books and reference materials to find specific information, accounting professionals who subscribe to FinancePro can now search online across the range of CIMA titles; finding the answers they need within seconds.

The CIMA titles join over 500 finance-specific online books already available through the Books24x7 FinancePro collection and over 10,000 titles contained within the Books24x7 digital database.

With reliable content from trusted publishers, such as CIMA, John Wiley and Financial Executives Research Association, FinancePro covers a wide range of finance-related topics from general accounting practices and economics to consolidations and mergers.

Commenting on the partnership, Duncan Enright, Publishing Director of Business Books at Elsevier, which incorporates CIMA Publishing, said:

CIMA’s aim is to take forward the science of management accountancy and embed high professional standards into the culture of organisations. Books24x7 complements this by unlocking the knowledge contained within CIMA titles and transferring it into a searchable digital database that accounting professionals can refer to at will.

Books24x7 is a subsidiary of SkillSoft, the global online learning provider. Kevin Young, General Manager of SkillSoft, EMEA, added:

FinancePro users will be able to refer to the latest techniques, best practice and top thinking on a wide range of finance-related subjects. As well as providing a valuable reference resource, the collection will also help accounting professionals to keep their skills up-to-date in order to remain qualified. The CIMA titles now available through FinancePro include:

* Financial Planning using Excel: forecasting, planning and budgeting techniques
* Corporate Governance: how to add value to your company, a practical implementation guide
* International Reporting Standards: fair value and corporate governance
* International Accounting: standards, regulations and financial reporting
