Institute Of Management Accountants

The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) is a student chapter affiliated with the national organization of the National Association of Accountants (NAA). The purpose of the IMA is to familiarize students with real business world accountants and accounting problems. A major goal of the student group is to ease the transition from academics to the job environment. This is accomplished through great business speakers at the meetings, VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) and joint meetings and activities with the Delaware chapter of the national organization.
