How finance can take the lead in business transformation

Businesses are re-inventing themselves as highly responsive, customer-centric, technology-driven organizations which effects every role in the organization, including the CFO.

Among the many hats they wear on a daily basis, CFOs continue to ensure that there are no compromises in compliance, provide transparency across all metrics to support a company’s regular financial performance and operations while safeguarding the organization’ s trust and reputation.

In today’s climate, the traditional CFO remains  vital to maintaining business integrity.  However, to support ongoing business transformation, the CFO role must evolve from fiduciary to visionary. Instead of challenging change, they must lead it and they are in the best position to do so.
