| Dynamic And Changing Regulatory Environment |
In today's world, financial rigor and strategic insight need to be tightly linked. Senior financial executives play a key role in strategy development and execution by working closely with the CEO. As the CFO, you are called upon to identify and assess profitable business ventures, explore mergers and acquisitions opportunities, establish partnership and alliances, and determine strategic growth strategies.
In this rapidly changing business environment, the role of a CFO has evolved from been a financial gatekeeper to a strategic partner and advisor. Most CEO and board member now expect a competent CFO to be a "partner in strategy" , wearing multiple hats including chief compliance officer, chief investment advisor and key communicator with regulatory bodies, agencies and the stakeholders. These new roles and responsibilities requires you to secure a deeper understanding of strategy, leadership and communication skills. In fact, most CFOs surveyed acknowledged the fact that increasingly, more is expect them to be active members of the senior-management team and contribution to the overall business direction and strategy
Without proper management training, CFOs are finding it increasingly demanding to balance these multiple and conflicting roles which includes strategic and operational responsibilities. Financial competency is no longer sufficient to meet the changing requirements.
