The report is a deeper analysis of findings from the IR Magazine Salary & Careers Report 2022, breaking data down by region and company size. Results are based on responses to the IR Magazine Global IRO Survey during 2021.

  • Just under a third of North American men working in IR come from a corporate finance background, compared with one in five women.
  • Only one in five men in North American IR have had accredited professional training with an IR association, while just under half of women have taken such training.
