In the action plan ACCA urges accountants to be ‘at the heart of finance transformation’ and be key players in their organisation’s performance and control agendas.

The Transformational Journeys: Finance and the Agile organisation report, created in collaboration with the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) and Generation CFO compiles a series of global roundtables with finance professionals which focused on how transformation could be implemented into a company’s agenda.

The accountancy bodies state that finance teams’ roles are becoming wider in scope as they take on managing operational, climate, and financial and non-financial work delivering insights based on robust data analytics.
