“The difficult financial climate was a strong theme in this year’s survey,” said Ian Ball, chief executive officer of IFAC. “Accountancy leaders around the world told us that a key concern is addressing the needs of SMPs and SMEs, important engines of economic growth and development that could be instrumental in improving the world’s economies. Continued global regulatory convergence—which can help promote growth and development, reduce economic uncertainty, and enhance international financial stability—was also highlighted as a significant issue. Addressing the ongoing sovereign debt issues, which are impacting growth and contributing to economic uncertainty, were also highlighted as key concerns for 2012.”
