About °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ Future Trends

Launched as part of a suite of economy focused initiatives, the survey is completed monthly by a sample representing a cross section of members. The survey is focused on areas in which members may face potential difficulties, including workload, staff levels and work in specific sectors.

Monthly results are independently analysed to identify the employment and business trends affecting the profession and to help to identify implications for the profession and inform further °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ activities.

The Future Trends survey was devised by the °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ Research and Development and Practice departments and launched in January 2009. It is run in collaboration with The Fees Bureau, which conducts the surveys and analyses the data.

The reports for 2024 are available at the bottom of this page.
