The biggest challenge ahead and predictions for 2014
“I think it’s attracting and retaining staff. We have to make the
audit profession interesting for young staff. For this, career plans
and international-based training staff exchange programmes are
key. To get globally thinking staff is vital. You need to show them
how you really do make a difference in the profession and it can
be a very rewarding career.”

“The challenge is to continue offering our clients the service they
deserve and ensure the steady stream of intelligent and talented
people to the business at all levels. The profession is becoming
a younger person’s profession and you can see that at all levels.
Generation Y have a different attitude to life: they want a work/
life balance and they are much more mobile. We need to ensure
we keep and attract those people.”

“It goes back to trying to figure out the right value proposition
for audit to match up with the market’s expectations. Looking
at what clients are willing to pay, versus the regulatory
environment, and how we’re trying to reposition to satisfy
market need.”
