The Finance Leaders Survey Report, conducted in September 2013, presents the results of a joint survey by ACCA and IMA. The report outlines the views of finance leaders on six key issues: current priorities in the finance function, the effectiveness of the finance function, finance function challenges, the importance of different skills, identification of key stakeholders, and how finance leaders apportion their time. This is the third in a series of surveys conducted every six months to track how these finance issues are evolving. The report highlights the importance of the finance function in business and the need for finance leaders to adapt to changing business needs. It also emphasizes the importance of different skills and the need for finance leaders to identify and manage key stakeholders. The report concludes by highlighting the role of ACCA and IMA in supporting finance leaders throughout their careers.
