MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERS ACTIVE IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS, BUT
MORE AS A CONTRIBUTOR THAN AS A LEADER
60 % of the respondents declare that the Financial Controller is either active
as a Leader (19%) or as a Contributor (41%)
.
The Financial Controller is mainly involved in Digital Transformation projects in the sector of
Media, Telecom and IT; 94% of the respondents belonging to this sector declare being active. But
for a large majority, this remains limited to a Contributor role (72%). On the other hand, the Public
Sector is shown to be giving a lot more responsibilities to the Financial Controllers; 43% declare
being Leaders in the Public Sector vs only 19% on average in all the other sectors.
From a regional point of view, results show major difference in the role given to the Financial
Controller: while being positioned as a Contributor in Europe (41%), the Controller has very little
activity at this level in the USA and Japan (respectively 60% and 55%).
