About the Deloitte CFO Survey
The Deloitte CFO Survey is a quarterly survey of Chief Financial Officers and Group Finance Directorsthat was launched in September 2009.
The Q4 2015 Survey was conducted between 18 November and 14 December 2015. A totalof 123 CFOs participated, representing listed and private companies and all major sectors of the Swisseconomy.
Some of the charts in the survey show the results in the form of a net balance. This is the percentage ofrespondents reporting, for instance, that bank credit is attractive, minus the percentage saying that bankcredit is unattractive. This is a standard method of presenting survey data. Due to rounding percentagesmay not add up to 100.
