Controlling Excellence with the ICV

The International Association of Controllers has set standards for controlling and controllers alike for 50 years. Today, the ICV is the address for controlling excellence in Europe. 6,000 members – around 260 corporate members – benefit from a wide-ranging network, central contact persons, top-class events – online and in person, awards for excellent work and more than 60 work groups throughout Europe. These have a regional focus and are dedicated to specific sectors or specialist topics. The Association brings together theory and practice, trends and proven methods, specialist knowledge and expertise and thus offers a complete range of services for controllers, CFOs and all those who focus on controlling and corporate management.
