In a financial crisis, the spotlight is even more on the role and activities of the CFO. The winning CFOs in the coming years will be the ones who get the basics right, who prioritize their efforts, and who invest in their leadership development; and so creating the institutional capacity to achieve and sustain leading industry performance.

The New CFOs offers advice on different qualities CFOs need to accelerate in their roles:
- develop dynamic and distinctive risk management capabilities
- motivate and align increasingly diverse work providers
- design and operate effective financial processes for internal and external customers

The authors show CFOs how to embrace the new challenges and opportunities created by the financial crisis by addressing topics such as risk management, strategic leadership, the necessity of control and strategic decision making. Including a self-assessment questionnaire, The New CFOs provides a fundamental road map to success in this new environment for finance officers, their teams and the organizations that employ them.

Arvustused

"The New CFOs a wonderfully clear, engaging, insightful exposition of what it takes to build a great CFO, and filled with practical advice to help CFOs survive and thrive" * Zarin Patel, CFO, BBC * "These are difficult times for leaders who are faced with the task of managing an organization's finances and its risks in the face of uncertainties created by the financial crisis and the ongoing economic recession. This book, based on extensive research, interviews and experience, provides valuable practical advice. As a former CEO, financial regulator, and current board member, I would want my senior management team - and especially my CFO - to embrace the ideas and mindsets presented in this book" * Ernst Csiszar, MasTec Corporation * "Companies now need to restore the CFO's rightful position of understanding the drivers of value and risk management, so that they are able to provide independent challenge. This book shows you how" * Allister Wilson, Partner, Ernst & Young *
