The survey is aimed at users of your finance function and can provide insight into your budget setting process, identify any finance function issues and plan for the future allocation of resources.
The survey will also help you better understand the strategic delivery of your department’s service, becoming an important part of your continuous improvement process.
In addition, it will not only help you to identify your own position but enable you to benchmark against other organisations.
Why undertake a survey?
The research survey will enable you to:
- identify any issues or concerns regarding the service provided by your finance function
- understand any difficulties your users’ experience regarding budget setting
- understand your users’ attitudes and perceptions of the finance service
- review the level of users’ engagement
- measure users’ satisfaction.
The survey can be undertaken online or on paper and can be adapted to suit your local requirements. You can create the online survey yourselves or use CIPFA’s services.
