The 2024 CFO/Controller Sentiment Study

Webcast Panel and Survey Announced

Chicago, IL—November 30, 2023—The outlooks and sentiments of CFOs and corporate controllers will be identified by this important study. The 2024 CFO/Controller Sentiment Study seeks to help understand how macro-economic trends are shaping corporate finance strategy, planning, and priorities. The study results will be previewed at a complimentary webcast panel discussion scheduled for February 8, 2024, 1 PM CST (registration link below).

With unprecedented geopolitical risk, high interest rates and inflation, rapidly changing financial markets, a potential recession and continued talent challenges, how will CFOs and financial controllers manage in 2024 and beyond?

The sentiment study will identify a Financial Performance Index (FPI), along with expectations for financial metrics, spending and talent in 2024. And no sentiment study would be complete without the “What keeps you up at night” question.

“The CFO/Controller Sentiment study promises to uncover insights that will support planning and decision-making in 2024 and beyond”, states Neil Brown, Controllers Council Executive Director. “Corporate finance and accounting executives are encouraged to take the survey and receive a complimentary copy of the study report.”

The study and webcast panel discussion are produced by the Controllers Council, a member association and community focused on corporate finance and accounting training and resources, career development, networking and recognition.
