Challenges Facing the CFO today
CFOs are under greater pressure, scrutiny, and
accountability at companies large and small. The
demands of both internal and external stakeholders -
including CEOs and boards, investors, regulators,
customers, continue to expand and expect more from their
finance function. These stakeholders look to the CFO for
his or her unique understanding of company performance,
business strategy, value creation and risk.
As companies seek growth in an intensely competitive
business environment, the CFO is a key contributor to
business strategy and has a key role in enterprise-level
strategic planning in the future.

The CFO's Changing Role and Priorities
Financial performance management, with its focus on
financial control across all business operational areas, is a
particularly pressing issue for CFOs whose roles are
undergoing a transformation. CFOs are evolving from being
responsible for core finance activities to acting as advisors
to business management as they seek to optimize overall
operations. And in some cases, they also manage the IT
and HR functions that enable business performance. The
new areas of focus for CFOs are related to processes
supported for Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP"),
Governance Risk and Compliance ("GRC") and financial
performance management. CFOs need new ways to
maximize profitability - which requires greater visibility into
and operations.
