Foreword Despite the difficult economic conditions the West has been experiencing, prospects for CIMA members appear to be extremely favourable. Prudent businesses are increasingly turning to our members to help drive them through the downturn and on to sustainable success in the long term. This demand for management accounting expertise is reflected in the results of our second global members’ salary survey. Clearly, CIMA members are highly valued, especially during a period when businesses are looking for skilled financial managers to put them on a firm footing. Our global survey of

CIMA members shows that Chartered Management Accountants earn significantly higher salaries than the national average in every nation featured in our research.

In developed economies, members’ salaries are usually between two and three times the national average. However in developing economies such as Sri Lanka and Malaysia, we found CIMA members earning up to ten times the average - with the service industries offering particularly favourable wages. Bonuses are also featuring as a significant proportion of member remuneration. By country, this accounts for between 8% and 20% of their salary with the highest rewards being offered in the USA and Hong Kong. The economic turbulence has had a mixed effect on our membership. Our survey show that Australian and Malaysian members received the most significant increases in average remuneration since our last survey in 2009. But countries such as Sri Lanka and the UK have experienced only modest growth. A cause for some concern is the earnings disparity between genders. Across the world, male CIMA members appear to be earning significantly more on average than their female counterparts. This is most evident in emerging markets. Part of this disparity could be explained by the fact that there are a greater number of more experienced male CIMA members in our global community. CIMA has recently completed a report which identifies the main barriers to women achieving positions of leadership and outlines four strategies for success. We very much hope that this analysis will help highlight the value that women can add to the workplace – and the boardroom in particular. We are also launching a women’s network on our online community forum, CIMAsphere. The new network will provide our female members with a place to share advice and experiences. In Sri Lanka, the average monthly salary for a CIMA member is Rs.187,832 and the average bonus is Rs.28,284. This is a modest increase in total remuneration on the 2009 survey (3.9%). The current economic conditions are having little impact on member expectations regarding remuneration with 88% of Sri Lankan members not expecting to experience any negative factors on their salaries during the coming year and the same percentage expecting a bonus in 2010. Annual bonuses, a company car/allowance and healthcare are the key benefits sought from an employer.

However it appears that many Sri Lankan members feel they are not being adequately rewarded for their hard work. One indicator is that more than half (62%) are considering changing jobs in the next two years. Another is that only 58% are satisfied with their salary and 66% with their benefits package. This is lower than the average in many regions and may be linked to the fact that members in Sri Lanka have one of the longest working weeks in our survey (48 hours compared with the global average of 45 hours). We might conclude from this that CIMA members in Sri Lanka are keen to maximise their earning potential. Moreover, they are demonstrating resilience to the global downturn and their unique financial toolkit will place them in a prime position to help organisations build firm foundations for future success.

Executive summary The Sri Lankan economy has managed to survive the global recession without suffering any prolonged downturn in economic fortunes. Having said this, GDP growth nevertheless slowed during 2009, growing by 3.5% compared with 6.5% in 2008 and 2007. The most recent figures show growth at 7.1% for 2010 and the economic outlook is more positive with estimated growth of 8% by the end of the year. The second annual global salary survey of CIMA members was carried out in April 2010. A total of 1,959 members contributed to the survey of which 130 responses were from Sri Lanka. This report summarises the results of this survey with a particular focus on Sri Lanka, looking at how recent economic events are impacting on salary levels and benefits packages of CIMA members working in Sri Lanka.

Salaries and bonuses

• The average monthly remuneration package for a CIMA member in 2010 is Rs.216,116 an increase of 3.9% on the 2009 figure:

• CIMA members’ average monthly salary is Rs.187,832 • the average bonus is Rs.28,284 across all respondents.

• 88% expect to receive a bonus in 2010. • On average, male CIMA members are earning a package which is 47% more than

their female colleagues. • The production and technology industry offers their staff the largest monthly

remuneration package of Rs.265,208. • Those in a non-financial job role earn a monthly remuneration package 38%

(Rs.70.897) higher than those in finance. • There are no significant differences in remuneration by size of business.

Recruitment and retention

• 58% are satisfied or extremely satisfied with their salary. • 66% are satisfied or extremely satisfied with their benefits package. • Healthcare, contribution to/payment of CIMA fees and a company car/allowance

are the most widely available benefits for CIMA members in Sri Lanka. • Bonus, company car/allowance and healthcare are the key benefits sought from an

employer. • The average member works 48 hours per week with 39% expecting their working

hours to increase during the coming year. • The primary reasons for increased working hours are largely attributed to a

combination of CIMA members taking on more responsibility and company growth. • In terms of future development, members are most interested in strategic planning

and implementation skills, leadership skills and risk management skills.

Main findings Salaries and bonuses The average basic gross salary is Rs.187,832 plus Rs.28,284 bonus, producing a total average monthly package of Rs.216,116. However, it must be noted that this average has been driven up by a small proportion of individuals (8%) earning a basic salary of over Rs.500,000 per month. The increase in average basic salary in 2010 is just 0.6%, which, given the current economic climate is somewhat unsurprising. However, as bonuses have risen, the average total remuneration package has increased by 3.9% in 2010. Monthly remuneration packages – 2010 vs. 2009

The average bonus equates to 13% of the remuneration package, with a considerable proportion (39%) receiving a bonus of more than 20%. Whereas the basic salary in Sri Lanka has seen little increase in 2010, bonuses have risen considerably. The average bonus in 2010 is 32% higher than that recorded in 2009.

12% of respondents are not expecting to receive a bonus in 2010; this is significantly lower than the global average of 30%. For the 88% expecting to receive a bonus, the average amount is Rs.32,234. Bonuses likely to be received in 2010

Experience

As expected, members with the most work experience are more likely to receive higher salaries and bonuses than their less experienced colleagues. Indeed, the level of experience that a member has is one of the most important influences on the level of remuneration they can expect. Monthly salaries and bonus by experience

It would seem that once a member gains more experience they can expect to see a steady increase in their salary and bonus. Those with the most experience (over ten years) are receiving total remuneration packages which are approximately three times that of the respondents with the least experience. Although those with over three years experience receive bigger bonuses they are slightly less likely to actually receive one. 93% of those with less than three years experience anticipate receiving a bonus compared to 86% of those with four to nine years and 85% of those with ten years +.

Gender The survey shows that the total remuneration package received by male CIMA members exceeds that received by women to a significant degree. The average salary is Rs.212,428 for male CIMA members, supplemented by a typical bonus of Rs.30,836, providing an average total monthly package worth Rs.243,264. For female members, the average salary is Rs.141,965 and the average bonus is Rs.23,525, which provides a total monthly package of Rs.165,490. Men therefore, have a total package 47% higher than their female colleagues. In terms of the salaries received, no women receive a salary in excess of Rs.400,000 contrasting with 15% of men who are earning a basic salary beyond Rs.400,000. Similarly, at the other end of the scale, the proportion earning less than Rs.100,000 is significantly greater for women (48%) than for men (24%). Average monthly salary and bonus - by gender

A key factor that appears to contribute to this differentiation is that male CIMA members tend to have more experience (usually a key factor in determining remuneration). 42% of men became fully qualified CIMA members more than ten years ago, compared to just 25% of women. Also no female respondent reported being a CEO/managing director, compared to 12% of men who stated this.

Age As seniority and level of experience are both closely associated with age, it is no surprise to find that average salaries and bonuses increase as members get older.

Recruitment and retention Satisfaction with salary The small increase in remuneration packages (3.9%) this year is not reflected in any shift in satisfaction levels. In 2010 satisfaction has remained at almost the same level as 2009 with 58% extremely satisfied or satisfied. This is less than the global average where 68% satisfaction is recorded.

Importance of benefits The type of benefits that members typically receive from employers have remained fairly unchanged over the past couple of years. The majority (72%) are provided with a healthcare scheme as part of their benefits package. Employers also commonly provide their staff with a company car/allowance (71%) and financial contribution to their CIMA membership fees (70%). Other popular benefits provided include a bonus (64%) and a mobile phone/Blackberry/PDA (58%). Travel benefits/allowances are less widespread but nevertheless received by a significant minority (33%) as is life assurance (21%) and flexible working hours (20%). Only 11% of Sri Lankan respondents receive a pension compared to the global average of 78%, nevertheless it is still a highly desired benefit, receiving a score of four out of five for importance from Sri Lankan respondents. Access to benefits does vary according to the circumstance of the respondent. Those in a business with over 250 employees are more likely to receive life assurance than those in businesses with under 250 staff (28% vs. 8%). CIMA members aged over 40 are more likely to receive a company car/allowance (91% vs. 61%) and a mobile phone/Blackberry/PDA (79% vs. 49%) than younger members. Conversely, those aged under 40 are more likely to receive healthcare benefits (78% vs. 61%). There are also some differences by gender, with males significantly more likely to receive company car/allowances (78% vs. 58%) and leisure facilities (24% vs. 8%) than females.

Healthcare and contribution to/payment of CIMA fees and a company car/allowance are the most widely available benefits for CIMA members

An annual bonus, company car/allowance, healthcare and payment of CIMA fees were judged to be the most attractive benefits that employers might offer. Indeed, a large proportion of employers currently provide members with these benefits. Pensions and travel benefits/allowances are also attractive to CIMA members, however this is not matched by what employers currently provide. In 2010 only 11% receive a pension and 33% have access to travel benefits/allowance. Importance of benefits (mean score) - by benefits received 5 = extremely important, 1 = not at all important

Working hours The typical CIMA member in Sri Lanka works a 48 hour week, an increase from the average recorded in 2009 (46 hours). 55% of members work between 41 and 50 hours a week. A significant minority (31%) work longer hours than this (although only 11% work more than 60 hours in a typical week). 12% are working between 35 and 40 hours a week, which leaves only a small minority working less than 35 hours on average (2%).

Increased working hours are most closely associated with a combination of increased responsibilities/pressure and company growth.

Leadership skills are of greatest interest to younger members (aged under 40), where 56% are keen to acquire such skills (compared to 33% for those aged over 40). Indeed, the age and level of experience of members appears to influence the type of skills in which they are most interested. Those who have qualified in the last three years are far more interested in developing the following types of skills than those with more experience:

• decision making skills – required by 55% (compared to 36% overall) • personal development – required by 52% (compared to 42% overall) • reporting and analysis skills – required by 45% (compared to 35% overall) • skills for developing others – required by 40% (compared to 34% overall)

In general, members with considerable work experience are much less likely to feel that they need skills training. However, a small number of specific skills remain attractive to members with more experience, these are:

• Persuading and influencing skills remains of interest to 50% of members with more than ten years experience, making it the most attractive area of training for members in this group.

• Risk management is of interest to 46% of members with more than ten years experience, making it the second most attractive area of training for this group.

Organisation size can occasionally have an influence on the type of skills members feel they require as well. Members working in smaller companies (under 250 staff) feel that certain skills would benefit them a lot more than their peers working in larger businesses:

• 63% of members in small companies are interested in strategic planning and implementation skills, compared to just 44% in larger companies.

• 38% of members in companies with less than 250 staff are interested in team building skills, compared with just 19% of members in larger businesses.

Future Members in Sri Lanka appear to be less affected than average by the recent tough global economic conditions. 88% did not feel they would be affected by any negative factors (pay freeze, salary reduction, redundancy).
