 recent years\, Management Accounting has shifted to a more central and str
 ategic role within organisations. Finance leaders and their teams need to 
 explore new tools and practices to constantly adapt to a changing environm
 ent\, while at the same time meeting growing customer and stakeholder expe
 ctations. It is essential for finance leaders and their teams to improve p
 roductivity by removing waste\, shortening cycle times\, and increasing ef
 ficiency through decisions that are backed up by data. The 2nd Annual Stra
 tegic Management Accounting Forum 2014 will provide a space for finance pr
 ofessionals across sectors to investigate the key issues\, discuss lessons
  learnt and explore what is new and innovative in Management Accounting. T
 he content spans the usual mix of budgeting\, cost management\, business a
 nalysis and planning topics\, and also the less talked about and more chal
 lenging issues surrounding leadership\, finance transformation and change 
 management. This years forum provides a new and improved finance program d
 esigned for busy finance professionals. Practicality is assured through in
 teractive pre and post-forum workshops designed to explore the issues in d
 epth. The forum provides its traditional mix of practical case studies wit
 h interactive discussions that will demonstrate both traditional applicati
 ons as well as new innovations in budgeting\, forecasting and strategic pl
 anning whilst offering a valuable opportunity to network and acknowledge y
