Developing a vision and roadmap for the finance professional and finance function is a journey requiring an iterative and experimental approach, supported by a development plan that incorporates significant thinking on a variety of topics.

In an iterative workshop, the Professional Accountants in Business Committee explored how to develop a vision for the finance function and provided updates on current initiatives, including:

  • The Customer Perspective of the Finance Function: Opportunities and Challenges
  • Building Awareness of the Latest in Digital and Technology Developments
  • Future Finance Vision and Development Roadmap
  • The Finance Professional Profile of the Future
  • Key Skills Needed for Technology Competence

 

Reports following the September 2016, March 2017 and September 2017 meetings are also available.
