As an international academic consortium, we are tracking how finance is evolving over time, making executives ready for the future direction of their own finance organization. We cover more than 10 countries worldwide with feedbacks from >500 CFOs and financial executives.
Our academic partners have extensive knowledge in management accounting & control and related areas (accounting, auditing, finance, treasury), access to a large network of executives & firms and a clear perspective on recent trends & future developments.
Balancing exploitation — reporting, budgeting, compliance — with exploration — innovation, digital transformation, new services.
Each year the consortium fields one survey across all partner countries, with a focused theme on how the Finance function is evolving.
The same survey, translated and fielded by a local partner in each country, lets us benchmark finance functions across Europe.
We believe the best research comes from a tight loop between academia and practice. Bring your question, your data, or your sponsorship.
