- Title
GLOBAL CFO From Scorekeeper to Strategist.
- Authors
Corson, Myles; Miyagawa, Tomohiro
- Abstract
The article looks at the role of the corporate chief financial officer (CFO) as of 2012. It discusses the results of surveys and interviews with CFOs from numerous countries conducted by accounting firm Ernst & Young. The authors focus on an ongoing trend toward an expansion of the CFO's role beyond traditional financial management to include strategic planning and other functions, a trend spurred by factors including the 2008 global financial crisis. They present comments from CFOs from companies including athletic footwear firm Nike Inc. and industrial supply firm W. W. Grainger. Other topics include communication and other soft skills, and CFOs' relationships with other executives in a firm.
