How can we be more adaptive to better deal with an uncertain and rapidly changing environment?
There are a growing number of companies that no longer use budgets. In this presentation we examine what it means to move beyond budgeting by examining the critical need many companies have to be adaptive to their volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments.
Associate Professor Chris Akroyd will synthesize insights from the beyond budgeting principles using the case of a New Zealand company to show how organisations can enhance their governance through changes to their management structure and control processes.
This interactive discussion-style event will be capped at 15 attendees. Whether you are completely new to the topic or have years of relevant experience, you will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspective.
Chris Akroyd is an Associate Professor of Accounting at the University of Canterbury. He is a member of CPA Australia, the Institute of Management Accountants and the Institute of Directors. He has a Master of Commerce degree from The University of New South Wales, an MBA from Kobe University and a PhD from The University of Auckland. His research focuses on how organizations design accounting and control systems to better deal with an uncertain and rapidly changing environment. Chris has presented his research at industry/professional events as well as many universities and international conferences. His recent publications focus on the control systems organizations use to implement their strategic goals, the use of culture and non-financial information as governance tools, and the impact that controls have on sustainable development. Current research projects focus on how we account for social sustainability.
