The role of the corporate controller is changing faster than at any point in the past several decades. Artificial intelligence, automation, evolving regulations, talent shortages, increasing stakeholder expectations, and new technologies are transforming how finance organizations operate.

As routine accounting activities become increasingly automated, controllers are expected to play a larger strategic role in business performance, governance, technology leadership, and enterprise decision-making.

To better understand where the profession is headed, Controllers Council is conducting the Controllership 2030 Survey, gathering insights from finance leaders across North America. The study explores how controllers expect their organizations, responsibilities, technologies, and teams to evolve over the next five years.

Please take the anonymous and confidential survey and be the first to receive the Controllership 2030: Research Study Report. And please register for the Controllership 2030: Webcast Predictions Panel to hear your controller and CFO peers discuss these important findings (copy/paste link): https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/453126790528483164/?source=survey
