Credit Management in Malta
Credit has become an important element to gain competitive advantage in today’s dynamic business environment. Consequently, people employed within the credit department have an important role to play - ‘aiming to achieve high volume of profitable sales with possibly no or few bad debts and a sound cash flow management, while building a long-term business relationship with their clients.’
The effective way to achieve such business rewards is by combining experience with education. In other words by investing in the skills and competences of the work force.
Many Maltese companies entrust one of their key assets, ‘debtors’, in the hands of inexperienced or unqualified personnel very often. The Malta Association of Credit Management (MACM) has felt the need to introduce in Malta, accredited qualifications for people working in the field of credit management. This would ensure to develop the right skills and qualities that could also be applied to other managerial roles: The ICM (UK) qualifications.
CICM Qualifications
The Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM) education scheme has been established for over 20 years and the syllabus is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance to the credit function. CICM has long believed in the value of an all round grounding in credit management and the education syllabus for students studying for the CICM qualifications is designed to give the best possible foundation upon which to build a career in credit management. The strength of the syllabus lies in both the strong base upon which to base a career, and in the opening it can give to those who have hitherto only had exposure to trade or consumer or export. In other words, the aspiring credit manager can look to broaden his or her horizons by studying to achieve the CICM qualifications.
