內容簡介: |
On the heels of a decade of scandals and the new pressures
brought on by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, corporations expect far more
from their CFOs than simply managing the numbers. They expect
decision-making support and performance insights that can improve
bottom-line results. Unfortunately, the complexity and detail
inherent in CFOs’ jobs keep them shackled to budgeting and
transaction-processing systems that leave little time for
value-adding activities.
Jeremy Hope says it’s time to redefine the role of CFOs in
today’s organizations, liberating them from ineffective
number-crunching responsibilities and enabling them to focus on
helping managers improve performance. Grounded in extensive
research, Reinventing the CFO outlines seven critical roles—from
streamlining redundant processes to regulating risk to identifying
a few key measures—that CFOs must take on in order to successfully
transform the finance operation.
Challenging many of the finance field’s accepted practices and
systems, this bold book revolutionizes the role of financial
managers and frees them to make smart, ethical, strategic decisions
that add real value to the firm.
