KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 (Bernama) — A total of 743 accounting and finance professionals of varying ages, organisations and roles responded to the second MIA-ACCA Business Outlook 2020 survey, including top-level finance professionals and public practice leaders who comprised 43% of the total respondents. This was very nearly double the number of respondents to the first survey (399 respondents), giving greater credibility and weight to the insights reported.
The survey was intentionally timed during the last two months of 2019 to cull insights emerging from companies’ annual strategy and budget planning processes, which are typically conducted during this period.
