According to findings released in a recent report for Chartered Global Management Accountants (CGMAs) by the American Institute of CPAs and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, ineffective talent management strategies are impacting the ability for CGMAs to meet performance targets and recruit and retain the best talent.
