IFAC 2009 Global Leadership Survey

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) Third Annual Global Leadership Survey sought to obtain the views of presidents and chief executive officers of its member bodies and associates, regional organizations, and accountancy groupings on critical matters for the accountancy profession. With over 100 responses, key findings cover a wide-range of topics, including the need to support small and midsize businesses in the current environment, the increasing importance of adoption of international standards, and the issues and risks anticipated to be of most relevance in the next three years for their jurisdictions around the world. (Read the IFAC 2009 Global Leadership Survey.)
