Our strategy

The Institute’s Strategic Plan has been reframed by the 2012 Board to sharpen our strategic focus and position the Institute for a sustainable future.

Each year the Board undergoes a process of strategic planning with board committees, councils, advisory groups and management to ensure the Institute is tracking in terms of performance and direction.

For the past three years, the Institute’s strategy has centred on stabilising the organisation in the current economic volatility and maximising the efficiency of our operations.

In maintaining this strategy, the Board made few changes to the overarching Strategic Plan. In 2011 the key strategic projects were added: the business/IT renewal project; the review of the Chartered Accountants Program; and our collaboration with the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA).

The 2012-2014 Strategic Plan reflects the evolution of the Institute, our purpose, and how we represent members and our professional and reputational value.

The Board has synthesized the Strategic Plan into three key areas: 'a strong profession', 'leadership and influence' and 'sustainability'. 

Through this approach, the Institute Board and management are focussed on growing as a world-class body of professionals, trusted for financial leadership and committed to upholding financial integrity in society.
