THE FUTURE OF
FINANCE IN THE
DIGITAL
REVOLUTION
ANDREW MISKIN
CHAIR, ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL CERTIFIED
PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS
@MISKINANDREW
Business in the 21st Century is a volatile, complex, uncertain place.
But it is also rich in opportunity.
As competition increases and the rate of technological change only
accelerates, business leaders find themselves under increasing pressure.
Quality decision making is essential. However, in these circumstances,
impulse often substitutes for insight.
ENVIRONMENT
FUTURE OF FINANCE
The world is changing
Companies need new and different information to make decisions
This requires different skills from management accountants
'Finance' is still the right place for those skills
Companies can prepare for this
THE WORLD IS CHANGING: A VUCA WORLD
Shift in global economic power
Technological breakthroughs
Demographic and social change
Climate change and resource scarcity
Rapid urbanisation
THE WORLD IS CHANGING: MEGATRENDS

SO, WHAT INFORMATION DO WE NEED?
WHAT SKILLS DO MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANTS NEED?
BUILDING SKILLS TO UNDERPIN OUR PRINCIPLES
ANALYSE AND HOLD A
POSITION
PERSUADE BUT LISTEN
IS ’FINANCE’ THE SAME AS
“INFORMATION”
DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT SKILLS IN THE RIGHT ORGANISATION?
• Global Management Accounting Principles defines Management
Accounting as:
“the sourcing, analysis and communication of decision relevant
information to create and preserve value in organisations”
• Segregation of finance roles: steward, reporter, analyst and influencer?
• Who else can provide independence, analysis, communication and
business insight?
DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT ORGANISATIONS?
COMPANIES CAN
PREPARE FOR
THS
THANK YOU
ANDREW MISKIN
