CDP: Future ready: accountancy careers in the 2020s
Overview
As a quickly growing digital landscape explodes the global economy, a number of forces are coming together to reshape how businesses compete and create long term sustainable prosperity with purpose. This new world order is turning upside down previously held, well established norms in the workplace and redefining the very definition of the work that organisations need to perform to survive. It also means we need to reconsider ‘jobs’ and traditional work constructs in accountancy. ACCA’s Future of Careers report considers the trends impacting the careers that professional accountants will have in the future, as well as identifying broad areas of career opportunities as we look forward.
Learning outcomes include:
- understanding the drivers of change impacting careers as we look forward
- understanding emerging areas of career opportunity in the profession
- consideration of how individuals can navigate their own careers in this evolving landscape.
