ICV - The Original
The International Association of Controllers (ICV) was founded by graduates of the Controller Academy in Gauting, Munich in 1975 as the first of its kind. With its Honorary Chairman, Dr Albrecht Deyhle, the Association has made a lasting impression on the controlling scene in the German-speaking region, and has set standards for the profession. In the meantime, the ICV numbers over 6,000 members in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and over elevent other countries in Central and Eastern Europe. There are also 260 corporate members. Today, the ICV is the international address for controlling expertise.
We develop and represent society's image of the controller
between the different interest groups both within companies and organisations as well as between them.
between the different “languages" that result from the perspective of different tasks, responsibilities and cultural experiences as well as from the differences in the industry and subject-specific knowledge base.
who is also a partner of management when preparing decisions at all levels of leadership.
who embodies an independent professional image based on a practical and widely accepted training (e.g., IGC certification).
for the organisation's business economics.
With a heart made of work groups
Over 60 regional or sector-related work groups meet regularly several times a year and serve as a communication forum for our members. In expert work groups, leading practitioners, consultants and scholars develop new, practice-oriented controlling solutions for current issues. The Ideas Workshop under the responsibility of Prof. Horváth leads the way, focusing on the challenges of the future and developing the “dream machines” of controlling.
