"I believe our finance skills enable us to be great integrators. We are the bridge that connects the organization of today with the vision for tomorrow." STEVE DAVIS, VICE PRESIDENT, DOWNSTREAM BUSINESS SERVICES, EXXONMOBIL CORPORATION
From complexity to simplicity - that's where the CFOs of today's world-class companies are headed. Propelled by globalization and new technology, and recent accounting scandals the CFO's role is shifting dramatically, from that of numbers interpreter to business integrator.
What demands will CFOs face now - and in the future?
Mastering enterprise-wide integration tools
Extracting ROI from technology investments
Streamlining finance processes still further
Improving analytics and decision support
Managing outsourcing and external alliances
Ensuring rigorous reporting and transparency
The CFO as Business Integrator addresses all these challenges - and more. It offers timely, practical advice and solutions for reshaping your finance function to exploit real-time information sharing, sophisticated decision support, and true globalization. The book features CFO interviews, original research, case studies, and action plans for creating proactive, value-adding finance initiatives.
