The importance for organisations managing their human capital effectively has never been greater and organisations are increasingly recognising that the people they employ are their most important asset.

ACCA's Managing Human Capital programme, featuring its conference series, global research programme and employer products and services, explores the issues organisations face in recruiting, developing and retaining finance professionals, and provides practical solutions to address these.

Our 2009 - 2010 conference theme is Accountants for Business. It emphasises a new, value adding agenda for accountants in whatever role they occupy. The theme examines the role of accountants as promoters of sound business practices, champions of sustainable development and identifiers of value drivers that all lead to high performing organisations.
