Five ways you can prepare for the future of finance
Recommendations to address the evolving role of the finance function include the following:
Identify the current status of your finance function, including existing skills and talents.
Invest time to identify skills gaps, taking into consideration the evolving finance function, and make plans to close the gaps.
Exhibit both an internal perspective (consider your career and the careers of your team members) and an external perspective (organisational needs such as disruptive technologies and hybrid working).
Develop concrete plans to achieve personal and company goals; initiate your own continuing professional education plan that complements your entity’s needs.
Initiate and grow a community of knowledge and skills within your entity and let us know about your experiences, observations, opinions, and how AICPA & CIMA can support your evolution.
