DESCRIPTION

What are the top issues facing CFOs, Controllers, and CPAs in Business/Industry, NFP and Government? MACPA CEO Tom Hood, voted second most influential leader in the CPA Profession in Accounting Today’s 2013 list of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting (his ninth time on the list) sees five fundamental shifts facing accounting now – Leadership, Learning, Technology, Generations and Workplace. In a world of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those individuals and organizations who can keep their L>C², their rate of learning must be greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition. Tom’s updates are always popular for CPAs and include the latest trends and issues the profession is facing locally, nationally, and globally. This special Business & Industry Edition also covers a special session on the CFO of the Future by Ash Noah, CPA, CGMA of the AICPA/CGMA and a presentation by our Business & Industry Committee of the results of our ThinkTank session on the major issue and opportunities facing CPAs in B&I by Skip Falatko and B&I member Joselin Martin.

The Bounce – Career path

Curriculum design by BLI and AICPA using Top 5

Competencies for future from CPA Horizons research and job

levels from the BLI “Bounce” Model. Leadership and

Communications were combined and the 5th category expanded

to include practice specialties for firms and functional areas for

corporate.

Examples would include: Corporate Accounting, FP&A,

divisional reporting, shared services, etc.

CPA Firms would have audit, tax, industry specialties.

These technical areas would

have specific curriculums designed to meet their specific technical competency needs.

Systems of Engagement and Record misaligned.

Mobile means information leaking everywhere.

Information coming faster than it can be digested.

More silos than ever – and new ones in the cloud

The “business” circumvents IT.

We’re spending too much on technology.

Information Opportunity

End to end process synchronization.

Governance occurs regardless of device.

Analytics automatically categorizes and disposes.

Governance occurs regardless of location.

IT spend aligned with opportunities.

Cloud opportunities to save on legacy.

Business Benefit

Processes transparent to customers.

Employees and customers work on their own device.

Static information now at rest put into motion.

It doesn’t matter where information “lives.”

A new business/IT alignment.

IT shifts from a cost center to value creator.
