29.10.2012: IFAC issues new report for professional accountants in business

The Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has issued Integrating Governance for Sustainable Success, which uses case studies to analyze how professional accountants in business support the performance of their organizations by integrating governance into the key drivers of sustainable organizational success.

“Governance is still too often seen primarily as a compliance exercise rather than a means for driving the sustainable performance of an organization,” said Roger Tabor, chair of the PAIB Committee. “Successful organizations have a governance structure and culture that go beyond conformance with regulations and support the organization’s efforts to improve performance. Governance should be part of the DNA of an organization.”

The new report illustrates that good governance is about more than the basic protection of stakeholders’ interests or compliance designed to satisfy regulatory requirements. Rather, integrating good governance throughout an organization offers powerful support to the way sustainable value is created. The report addresses how professional accountants support their organizations to build good governance into the entire cycle of strategic planning, resource utilization, value creation, accountability, and assurance. Such a holistic approach ensures that governance is integrated into all aspects of an organization.

“Professional accountants are typically in a position of strategic or functional leadership or are otherwise well placed to partner with colleagues in evaluating and improving governance,” said John Cahill, chair of the PAIB Committee’s Governance and Ethics Task Force. “This report usefully demonstrates how they can increase their organizations’ sustainable performance.”
