Dear Colleagues:

%26nbsp;

We are happy to report that IFAC%26rsquo;s Mid-Year 2013 SMP Quick Poll (conducted May 29 through July 8, 2013) received 3,686 responses thanks to your help. Please find attached the summary raw data. Please find the report, which includes cross-tabulated data by region and size of practice, on our website: IFAC SMP Quick Poll: Mid-Year 2013.

%26nbsp;

We invite member bodies to use the data in whatever way they wish, for example, to produce regional reports to share with their members or simply to assist with strategic planning. Email communications@ifac.org to request the data for your country if you feel there are enough responses to report at a national level.

Thank you to all the member and regional organizations, other organizations and individuals that translated, emailed, published, or otherwise helped promote the poll to their members. We are grateful for your support and for continuing to make the SMP Quick Poll so successful. IFAC will conduct a second 2013 SMP Quick Poll in November-December and issue a comprehensive report in January comparing the year-end to mid-year results.
