DOES ACCOUNTING ADD VALUE TO BRITISH BUSINESS?

There has been a good deal of relatively informal coverage of the changing role of the finance function in the national press, the professional press and in presentations made at a variety of conferences. However, there is little by way of focused guidance to provide a greater understanding of which steps should be followed in order that the finance function (broadly defined) might add value in enhancing organisational effectiveness.
