Six in 10 accountants currently living in Asia Pacific will be searching for new employment within the next 6-12 months, while over a quarter (27 per cent) will be looking to move immediately.
Research by job board CareersinAudit.com found that almost half of the accountants (43 per cent) preparing to move are looking to work in another country, while 13 per cent are seeking a promotion and better pay, 11 per cent are not satisfied with the company culture and 11 per cent want to find employment in a different industry sector.
However, eight in 10 accountants questioned admitted they would think about moving to another country for their next role, with the Middle East coming out as the most popular destination. Some 32 per cent would head to the Gulf looking for better career progression, 25 per cent would look for an improved work-life balance, and 19.5 per cent would be seeking a better salary.
CareersinAudit.com director Simon Wright said that the survey’s results give a strong indication that large numbers of auditors are ready to move long distances in order to progress in their career. He added that bosses are not in a position where they can be complacent, and need to come up with ideas and incentives to persuade them to stay.
