business today is under great pressure to deliver stakeholder value and consistent growth despite fragile economic conditions and scarce resources. As key players in the business and corporate eco-system, accountants are expected to be at the forefront of managing value and charting meaningful growth. Adding to the challenge accountants are expected to shoulder multiple roles beyond the finance and assurance function in this new economic era where turbulence and volatility are constants.
In tune with this new era, the MIA international Accountants Conference 2013 (MIA Conference 2013) with the theme of ‘Managing Value, Accelerating Growth’ is fit-for-purpose to help accountants create and manage value and deliver growth in their primary roles as executives, key decision-makers and business support partners.
