The role of the chief financial officer is on an evolutionary path, managing a variety of functions, steering the organisation, monitoring financial health, and economising wherever and whenever necessary. From profit-finding in perilous times to adapting to a changing economy and keeping up with the buzzwords of sustainability, datafication, critical success factors, JIC & JIT (just-in-case and just-in-time) and many more — a CFO’s job today is altered and expanded to include the wisdom of being prepared for any eventuality beyond the business continuity plan (BCP). This whitepaper is the second part of a series aimed to understand the changing role of the CFO and what the future holds for the second in line of the C-suite.
