The One Stop Update for the Accountant in Business 2017 - Wellington | Conferenz Ltd | 16 October 2017 | Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, 55 Cable St, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand

While CIMA understands that accountants are faced with the challenge of making its core tasks of transaction processing, reporting and financial statement preparation more efficient and effective, they must also produce better MIS information and support to achieving business vision. At the same time, they also acknowledge that most organisations have a long way to go for finance personnel taking a collaborative approach toward supporting decision-making.(Improving decision-making in organisations, CIMA, 2009).

Add to this technological advancement such as automation and artificial intelligence, now is the time for all finance and accounting professionals to start thinking beyond the financials on how to add value as a true supporter of business vision and strategy.
