Financial Executives: Toward a Profile of Educational Background and Learning Interests

©January 2004, 4 pages

Most professions have developed common educational frameworks for entrants. Though accountancy is a subset, one professional constituency lacking a common framework is the broader category of financial executives, which includes corporate controllers, investment bankers, and chief financial officers. This paper summarizes the results of a survey of attendees of a November 2003 FEI conference, including data on: Undergraduate major, Graduate area of study, Industry, Professional Title, and Areas of Interest for Continuing Professional Education
