Abstract: Abstract Most companies are interested in increasing their efficiency. Controlling offers those some of the instruments needed for this purpose. A particular industry where controlling is vital is the banking industry. The paper’s objective is to investigate controlling in the banking industry of Romania. More specifically, the author intended to analyze how controlling in banks has evolved in Romania over the past few years. The research design is empirical in nature. As proxy for the evolution of controlling in banks, the researcher uses the development of job announcements for the position of controller in the Romanian banking industry. The announcements are classified according to: language of the job announcement; geographical area of the employer; the controller’s tasks; the controller’s professional requirements; education and qualification; practical experience; personal attributes; age; salary etc. The results of the research consist in the current profile of a controller in a Romanian bank and in an overview of its evolution over time. The research fills in an important gap in the Romanian academic literature, which lacks studies on the topic of controlling, on one hand, and on the banking industry, on the other hand.
