Foreword
Welcome to the Eurozone results of CIMA’s inaugural global salary survey of CIMA members. Having recently launched our first ever global salary survey of CIMA students – a fascinating insight into the trends and opinions of the business leaders of today and tomorrow – we are now pleased to provide you with our latest information on the salary levels and aspirations of our members in the Eurozone.
As financially qualified business leaders, the role of the management accountant has never been more important in helping organisations around the world survive – and even thrive – in these incredibly challenging economic and financial conditions. Their views on the current climate, as well as their salary levels, bonuses and aspirations are therefore valuable in providing a barometer of how organisations are weathering the storm. This report, which focuses on CIMA members in the Eurozone, identifies a number of important trends. The main message that stands out is that over four fifths (83%) of members in the Eurozone are confident of their job security, despite the current economic climate and the toughest job market in decades. The Eurozone, along with Hong Kong, has the highest salary satisfaction level of all countries included in the global salary survey at 82% compared with 73 % globally. The average member salary in the Eurozone is €86,600 per annum. Only 65% of CIMA members in the Eurozone anticipate receiving a bonus for 2009 and the typical bonus is €8,100. But it isn’t just about the money in the Eurozone. While pensions and bonuses are the two key benefits sought from an employer, the key motivators are related to personal situations as opposed to financial or career-oriented rewards such as job satisfaction, achievement and flexibility/work life balance. However, the report as thrown up a need for parity between male and female member earnings in the Eurozone. On average men are paid 41% more than women (€103,700 compared to €73,600). As the world’s leading and largest professional body of management accountants, working at the heart of business, our members are the number one choice for business. On every level. We hope you will find the results of this survey a thought-provoking and valuable read.

Executive summary Organisations are having to ensure a delicate but crucial balance between short-term survival and securing their long-term future. While there is enormous pressure to cut costs, investing in the training and development of financial business leaders has never been more important. With this in mind CIMA sought to gauge its members’ views in the current climate and understand their salary levels and aspirations. In May 2009 CIMA launched its first ever global salary survey for qualified members. This report looks at the salaries and bonuses paid to CIMA members in the Eurozone (countries that use the euro currency), A total of 1,870 people contributed to the survey of which 530 were in the Eurozone, establishing a reliable benchmark of current and future salary potential for CIMA members. This report looks at the salaries and bonuses paid to CIMA members throughout the Eurozone and how these vary according to factors such as sector and size of business. It then goes on to examine recruitment and retention issues and identifies the geographical mobility of CIMA members. Finally, it touches upon views on the future economy.
Salaries and bonuses
The average basic salary of CIMA members in the Eurozone is €86,600 per annum.
The typical on target earnings bonus for 2009 is €8,100. The total average package is €94,700. Only 65% of CIMA members in the Eurozone anticipate receiving an on target
earnings bonus this year. For those receiving a bonus, the average is €12,500. Men, on average, earn packages worth 41% more than females (€103,700
compared to €73,600). Those with 20 years’ experience earn, on average, 92% more than those who
enrolled with CIMA within the last three years. FCMA’s earn, on average, around 38% more ACMA’s. Members based in the strategy division earn the largest packages (€116,400). On average, Fellows (FCMA’s) earn 37.5% more than Associates (ACMA’s). The Eurozone, along with Hong Kong, has the highest salary satisfaction level.
82% of respondents claim to be satisfied compared to 73% globally.
Recruitment and retention
Respondents are only marginally more satisfied with the level of benefits they receive than salary levels, with a satisfaction level of 85%.
Pensions and bonuses are the two key benefits sought from an employer. 37% consider their promotion prospects to be good or excellent with their current
employer. The average working week is 45 hours, with 52% working between 41 and 50
hours per week. For the Eurozone, as globally, the key motivators are related to personal situations
as opposed to financial or career-orientated rewards, namely, job satisfaction, and achievement and success (14% each), and flexibility/work-life balance (12%).
Around one-third (34%) want to acquire persuading and influencing skills, personal development (e.g. career planning), and skills for developing others within the next 12 months. Leadership skills are (44%) the most highly desired training requirement over the next 12 months.
2
Geographical mobility
Less than half of members (45%) intend to change jobs in the next two years. Of those who are planning to move jobs in the next two years, 26% intend to move
out of their current country. The majority only intend their relocation to be temporary (76%), typically between
one and three years (36%).
Economic future 83% of CIMA members are absolutely or fairly confident they will keep their job in
the next 12 months, of which 30% are absolutely confident. The Eurozone has the lowest proportion of members saying ‘absolutely confident’ – globally the average is 38% – largely because of Ireland’s low confidence of 26%.
The majority of people feel the credit crunch will last for a further one to two years (62%).
Members anticipate that organisations will take a number of specific actions regarding the credit crunch, most specifically to freeze salaries and recruitment (76% and 75% respectively), and cut budgets (72%).

Main findings Salaries and bonuses The average basic salary is €86,600 per annum, plus an on target earnings bonus of €8,100 in 2009, producing a total average package of €94,700. The average is pushed up by a small proportion of individuals (6%) earning a basic salary of over €150,000 per annum. While the average bonus among all Eurozone respondents is €8,100, rising to €12,500 when the 35% of respondents not expecting to receive a bonus in 2009 are excluded On target earnings bonuses typically account for 8% of packages, and up to 12.5% for those anticipating a bonus.
As mentioned, 35% will not be getting a bonus in 2009 (particularly women, 40%, and sole traders, 75%). The older the respondent, the less likely they are to receive an on target earnings bonus.
On average, CIMA members’ annual salary is €86,600.
The average bonus is €8,100 across all respondents.
35% do not expect to receive a bonus in 2009.
For the 65% expecting a bonus, the average is €12,500.

Years’ experience Salaries increase in line with experience. Those with 20 or more years’ experience have an average package of 92% more than those who have become members in the last three years. Gender As in other areas of industry, females are not remunerated as highly as their male colleagues. In terms of average basic salary, the difference is €25,100 per annum, which represents a difference of 36.5%. However, when bonuses are taken into account, the disparity rises to €30,100 per annum, a 41% difference. One likely explanation for differences in salary and benefits between genders is that males have more work experience. Some 53% of males have more than ten years’ experience, compared to only 31% of females.
Sector CIMA is important to the broad base of international industry, with the manufacturing and engineering sector having the highest proportion of CIMA members (24%), followed by the banking, finance and accountancy sector (16%), and technology, telecoms and utilities (11%). The three main sectors hold one-half of the CIMA membership. There is also a notable presence of members in the public and not-for-profit sector (10%).

Regions Ireland accounts for 81% of the responses in the Eurozone. However, it is under-represented in the high salary tier group (only 74%). Conversely, CIMA members from Belgium and Germany are the most highly represented Eurozone nations within the high salary tier.
Size of business Remuneration levels are not necessarily related to the size of the company, although members in organisations employing over 250 workers receive a package of around 32% more than sole traders.

Job roles CIMA members most commonly report their job title as financial controller or finance manager (16% each), management accountant (15%), and finance director (11%) demonstrating the strategic and diverse nature of CIMA members’ roles. Chief financial officer’s and chief executive officers/managing directors are also the job titles for 4% of respondents each. Whereas in the 2009 CIMA student salary survey job title bore little relevance to salary, among qualified CIMA members the converse is true. Board level respondents1
In terms of fitting into the business, organisational structure is slightly less traditional in the Eurozone than in the UK, as only 71% of respondents reside in the finance division compared to 78% in the UK and 76% globally. This demonstrates the diversity of career opportunities that the CIMA qualification can offer. A further 11% reside in the operations division, 5% in strategy and 4% in information technology. A significantly higher proportion of high tier earners are based within the operations function than low tier earners, although average packages are greater in the strategy division.
are significantly more likely to be in the high tier earning bracket than other respondents. However, by their very nature, these respondents account for a smaller proportion of our sample than the more popular job titles, as seen above.

Satisfaction with salary While salary levels do not guarantee job satisfaction, there is clearly a link between higher salaries and satisfaction levels. Of those earning more than €85,000, 92% are extremely or very satisfied with their salary. While 78% of mid tier earners are satisfied with their salary levels, only two-thirds of low tier earners are satisfied. Overall, 82% of respondents claim to be satisfied compared to 73% globally. The Eurozone, along with Hong Kong, has the highest salary satisfaction level. Although women are not as well remunerated as men, they are no less satisfied with their salary. FCMA’s are marginally more satisfied than ACMA’s, but there doesn’t appear to be a correlation with satisfaction levels and age.

Recruitment and retention Importance of benefits Although we have seen that satisfaction is influenced by salary level, it is clear that the surrounding benefit package is also important. Globally, pensions and bonuses are the two key benefits sought from an employer, as also seen in the Eurozone. By and large, members are receiving these as well as other important benefits. The area where expectations are not being met, however, is flexible hours where only 30% receive it but it scores 3.85 out of five in terms of importance. Other elements relating to work-life balance (e.g. extra holidays, sabbaticals and working from home) are also received by a smaller proportion of respondents than would like them. None of the benefits suggested were scored as unimportant, i.e. less than 2.5 out of five.

Satisfaction with benefits In general, respondents are only marginally more satisfied with the level of benefits they receive than salary levels, with a satisfaction level of 85%. Again, the Eurozone shows the greatest satisfaction in this area; globally the level is 82% satisfaction.
Men are slightly more satisfied with the benefits they receive compared to women. However, there is little variation in satisfaction by CIMA level. Differences according to company size are seen, however, with those in micro companies being more satisfied than any other sized establishment, possibly as a result of greater respondent autonomy.

Promotion prospects A relatively optimistic 37% – given the current recession – consider their promotion prospects with their current employer to be good or excellent. Optimism appears to wane with age though, but not significantly until over the age of 51.
There appears to be polarization regarding promotion prospects with those in the largest and smallest establishments being the most positive regarding them. .
There is less difference between the confidence levels according to CIMA membership status in the Eurozone than globally, with optimism barely varying. .
Members’ optimism about their career prospects decreases slightly with age.

Working hours The typical working week for the majority of respondents (52%) is between 41 and 50 hours, with 19% working more than this. Just over three-quarters of men are in the 41+ hour group. A further 23% of members work between 35 and 40 hours, while only 6% work less than 35 hours a week. The average is 45 hours per week. However, around a third of members are under pressure to increase their workload outside normal hours. It would appear that the old adage of ‘the more you do the more you are expected to do’ is coming into play, with those already working the longer hours more likely to be expected to increase them. This is particularly the case for men.
Increased workload can often be as a result of career progression, with 62% of those anticipating increased hours having taken on increased responsibilities or a more pressurised position. However, the effect of the recession may well already be starting to be felt as understaffing/lack of resources was the next most common reason (46%).

Primary motivator For the Eurozone, as globally, the key job motivators are related to personal situations as opposed to financial or career-orientated rewards, namely, job satisfaction, achievement and success (14% each), and flexibility/work-life balance (12%). However, flexibility/work-life balance is significantly more important for female respondents. Perhaps, surprisingly, job security (9%) didn’t feature as greatly as one might expect in the current economic climate, possibly showing members’ confidence in their own employability.

Skill set requirements Like CIMA students, full members are well aware that their future career necessitates them having skills beyond technical accountancy. Around one-third (34%) want to acquire persuading and influencing skills, and skills for developing others or developing themselves personally (e.g. career planning) within the next 12 months, while 32% want strategic planning and implementation skills. However, leadership (44%) is the most desired skill set over the next 12 months. There are only a few areas that women have a greater desire than men to improve their skills in, namely, reporting and analysis, and personal development (e.g. career planning, time management). In contrast, the areas where men have a greater training focus are time management, and persuading and influencing. ACMA’s typically have a greater desire to improve a wide range of skills compared to FCMA’s.

Geographical mobility Extent of movement Only 4% of respondents moved to the Eurozone (or countries within it) during the last 12 months – mainly from the UK, Greece, Finland, the Netherlands and Australia.
Just over one-third of members (35%) intend to change jobs in the next two years. This is the most stable workforce of all countries and is, largely due to 68% of Irish respondents expecting to remain in their current position.
Three-quarters (74%) of potential movers will stay within their current country for their next position. Nevertheless, with 26% intending to move outside the Eurozone, the geographical mobility of the CIMA qualification is demonstrated. Of those who intend to move out of their current country, only 33% are confident they will stay within the same industry sector as present. For those intending to switch, the banking, finance and accountancy, or manufacturing and engineering sectors are the most popular.
An improved quality of life (58%) is the most popular reason for moving abroad whereas, globally, experiencing a different culture was the most commonly cited reason.

Destination Of Eurozone CIMA members who are planning to move jobs in the next two years, 26% intend to move out of their current country. They are predominantly likely to choose English-speaking countries: Australia (30%) followed by the USA (29%), Canada (20%), and UAE (18%). CIMA offers local support in all these regions, whether through CIMA offices or a partnership agreement offering member network support. The majority of Eurozone respondents only intend their relocation to be temporary (76%), typically between one and three years (26%). However, around one-quarter anticipate the move to be permanent. Mobility of CIMA qualification2

Economic future Anticipated impact 30% of CIMA members in the Eurozone are absolutely confident they will keep their job in the next 12 months. However, this is the lowest proportion of members saying ‘absolutely confident’ – globally the average is 38% – and is largely because of Ireland’s low confidence of 26%.
Older members are a little more pessimistic regarding the potential length of the credit crunch, as are female members. The majority of people feel it will last between one and two years (62%).
