The Survey identified a number of trends that will help us target these areas during the upcoming year. Among the most notable points are:

• Top challenges facing members in their current positions include acquiring and retaining qualified staff, managing budgets and forecasts and increasing understanding of
the accounting function within their organizations.
• Participation in professional development depends mainly upon the accessibility and convenience of the location and quality of content in the presentations.
• Members attend networking functions and events to connect with peers and colleagues in a social form and to obtain professional development.
• Half of the respondents said that they did not have a system in their workplace that adequately supports
them in identifying the skills and competencies that should be focused on to keep up with changes and growth in the management accounting profession
• Only 50% hold a CPA and/or CMA with the remainder having no certification. Please feel free to contact any of our Board members with other feedback you would like to give to help us PLAN this year to the greatest benefit of our participants.
