The businesses that place financial professionals at the heart of their organization, and understand and embrace the vital role that they play in the future prosperity of the business, will surely be the winners.

In the current economic climate, a sound, solid and healthy business culture is important for whole of the India. ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) believes that financial professionals have a vital role to play in helping small, medium and large business grow, prosper and survive.

The accountancy profession has long embraced the value of accountants for business. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) established in 1977, for example, has a committee dedicated to the needs of professional accountants in business. ACCA itself has spoken of the need for financial discipline as a cornerstone of the corporate sector—and with some 60% of its members working in the corporate sector as well as those in practice and in the public sector, there is a clear mandate from its membership to promote the importance of accountants in various businesses.
