January 17, 2011: CIMA Research Initiative: Leadership
CIMA’s intention is therefore to study leadership in the context of the management accountant and their careers and how they interact with the organization to make change happen. More broadly, CIMA’s intention is also to identify common characteristics across management accountants who do and don’t reach senior levels of management and to identify the prerequisites to reaching those influential positions, as well as the barriers. Most people will not get to CEO level, but nonetheless have the opportunity to lead effectively within their organizations.
Application Deadline: April 2, 2012

Competent and Versatile: How Professional Accountants in
Business Drive Sustainable Success
Professional accountants in business play key roles in
organizations—roles that often go far beyond the stereotypical
perceptions of accountants. It may not be readily apparent to all
employers and business owners, but they can capitalize on
professional accountants’ training, knowledge, and skill sets to
help guide their organizations toward long-term sustainable success.
December 13, 2011: The Institute of Chartered Accountants
in England and Wales has published
Reporting Business
Risks: Meeting Expectations
Reporting Business Risks: Meeting Expectations forms part of the
Information for Better Markets
thought leadership programme of ICAEW’s Financial Reporting Faculty.
Requirements for businesses to report their risks have now been in
place in a number of countries
for some years, and there seems to be a common view that their
results have been disappointing.
There is widespread agreement that businesses should report better
information about the
risks they face, and this determination has been reinforced by the
wish to avoid another global
financial crisis.
But before fresh requirements are introduced, we need to understand
why good risk reporting
has proved to be so difficult in practice and why risk reporting may
prove to be less useful to
investors and other users of corporate reporting than has generally
been assumed.
In this report we look at the problems and limitations of risk
reporting, but also suggest how
it could be improved.

The IFAC Professional Accountants in Business Committee, new
publication,
Competent and Versatile: How Professional Accountants in Business
Drive Sustainable Organizational Success is now available.
To see the news release click
here
The publication is primarily designed to support IFAC and its
members (professional accountancy organizations) to promote the
value of professional accountants in business to their organizations
and more widely—an important mission deliverable for IFAC. In the
publication, we have highlighted key areas of competency development
for professional accountants aligned to the needs of organizations
that employ them. We hope it will be a useful resource to aid the
development of qualification, training, and continuing professional
development programs to support the changing needs of professional
accountants in business.
This publication is hopefully perceived as an important contribution
to improving common understanding, within the accountancy profession
and beyond, of the work by our colleagues who work in business and
the public sector. To help communicate the scope of the roles and
activities of professional accountants to non-accountants, and
particularly to employers, we have also developed a
shorter, brochure-length companion piece.
