Office of the CFO: Change the way work is done              

CFOs are under greater scrutiny as the economy remains uncertain while regulations tighten and investors lose their confidence. Standing still isn't an option for finance professionals in such a dynamic and volatile business environment. The key responsibilities and competencies expected of CFOs nowadays have been changing. Key findings from a survey conducted by ICPAS(*) report that:

• Over 90% of CFO respondents indicate the need to support the CEO as a very important or critical key performance objective
• More than 90% indicate strategic business planning, risk management as very important or critical work responsibilities, followed by working capital management (88%), financial planning (88%) and financial reporting (88%)
• Financial planning (89%), strategic business planning (80%) and risk management (76%) top the list of time spent by CFOs
• About 82% respondents rate C-Suite skills rather than technical skills as relatively more important to CFOs

Hence, you need fast, focused, adaptable solutions to help you successfully manage what can easily become competing interests - the need to accelerate growth while also keeping both costs and risks under control. Join our seminar "Office of the CFO: Change the way work is done" and let us help you in:

• The new concept of Office of the CFO: the modern CFOs - new concerns, new challenges
• Complete Financial Management: Adapt to changing business needs, eliminate manual processes, and more effectively manage supplier relationships
• Performance Management: Reduce financial planning time by up to 70% and link plans to strategic objectives
