Leading life and health insurer Colina Insurance Limited is pleased to announce that Financial Controller Antoinette Moxey has earned the globally-recognized certified management accountant (CMA) designation from the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA). Achieving the CMA demonstrates Moxey's professional expertise in many facets of accounting and financial management, including financial planning, analysis, control, decision support and professional ethics.

"In today's business environment, accountants must go beyond the numbers and serve as true strategic partners in not only supporting but also driving informed decision-making within a company," said Moxey. "In the insurance industry, we care deeply about the people that entrust us with their financial affairs, and becoming a CMA is an important step that ensures my ability to help the company manage resources in a way that provides clients with the confidence they need to achieve their financial goals." CMAs earn the advanced-level credential through completion of a comprehensive two-part examination, meeting the management accounting experience requirement and agreeing to comply with the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants.

"This is a significant accomplishment," said Colina Insurance Vice President of Finance Cathy Williams. "The CMA designation is an indication to the professional community that Antoinette has met the highest standards of expertise and integrity in the field of financial management. We look forward to her contributions as we continue to maintain the strongest financial management team possible."

Moxey joined Colina in 2009 as financial analyst and was named financial controller in 2010. She holds a BA in banking and financial services and an MSc in banking and financial services management from Boston University.
