ACCA research: CFOs search for ‘all-rounders’

Environment in which finance professionals now work requires them to have a broader range of finance skills: ACCA head


Press Release February 24, 2013

KARACHI: A majority of chief financial officers (CFOs) looking to appoint new staff for their businesses say they should ideally have both breadth and depth of finance expertise and capabilities, a new report from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) reveals. The report, “The complete finance professional: Why breadth and depth of finance capability matter in today’s finance function”, outlines why broad-based finance qualifications remain valuable in economically turbulent times. Head of ACCA Pakistan Arif Masud Mirza said: “The environment in which finance professionals now work – one which is increasingly volatile, complex and competitive – requires them to have a broader range of finance skills and this is certainly the case in Pakistan.”
