Advancing thinking and debate
CFOs and finance departments across the globe are striving to contribute more to organisational performance. This is nothing new, but achieving success in no easy task and there are no one size fits all solutions. ICAEW’s Finance Direction programme aims to help accountants in business think through the challenges and develop approaches tailored to their own unique circumstances.

If you want to contribute to the discussion please email bam@icaew.com.
