During the middle of 2014 all Member Bodies of the GAA conducted identical surveys of their members on Succession and Continuity Planning, a critical process for most practitioners. The survey was conducted by Harris Decima in Canada on behalf of the GAA, and there were 4,547 respondents. The results were analysed by both Harris Decima and the Succession Institute in the USA. An article summarising these results can be found on PDF file and this video file. For further information please contact Stephen Harrison, CEO of the GAA at stephen.harrison@charteredaccountantsanz.com.
See article from The Accountant on the Succession Planning Survey results and the results from the AICPA.
