How to take part in our survey.
Quarter 2 results
Quarter 2 2012 has seen a drop in overall business confidence among Irish CFOs from its highest point in over a year in Quarter 1. Encouragingly however, sentiment on turnover and profitability has remained steady. The findings also show that CFO views on the eurozone are mixed, while sentiment in relation to the Government continues to increase.
This quarter, in partnership with Business in the Community Ireland, we asked CFOs their opinions on sustainability issues. The results demonstrate that Irish CFOs believe that there is a direct link between sustainability programmes and business performance.
