Our ongoing research into the future of finance shows that the finance function has a mandate to go beyond its core accounting role. This changing mandate doesn’t discard core accounting; it’s still an essential foundation of the finance function. However, enabled by new technologies, the function is now capable of assessing a broader range of information and becoming a more influential player within an organisation.

It’s time to step up and occupy the space that senior finance and non-finance people – as revealed in interviews with us – believe the finance function of the future must own. This emerging theme from our research will:

  • explore the basic activities that are the essential DNA of every finance function

  • explain the broad roles within the finance function

  • explore how the finance function must transform in order to meet the changing mandate.

This forms part of a series of briefing papers exploring the four key themes from our ongoing research to understand the future form and direction of the finance function.
