Years ago, CEOs were satisfied with finance chiefs who could manage Wall Street analysts, implement financial controls, manage initial public offerings (IPOs), and communicate with the board of directors in short, CFOs who possessed strong financial skills. That business environment has changed dramatically CFOs are now called on to fill a multitude of roles, including business partner, strategic visionary, communicator, confidant, and creator of value.
Now in a third edition, The New CFO Financial Leadership Manual 3rd Edition is the blueprint for today’s CFO, filled with the best practices to help CFOs improve efficiency, mitigate risks, and keep their organizations competitive.
The Third Edition is thoroughly updated and includes:
-
Updated information on registration statements and Fedwire payments, acquisitions integration, types of acquisitions, and government regulations, as well as the relationship of the CFO with the Treasurer
-
New chapters on investor relations and risk management for foreign exchange and interest rates
A powerful companion guide, The New CFO Financial Leadership Manual 3rd Edition includes helpful tools such as an itemized list of the key tasks that a new CFO should complete when first entering the position as well as a checklist of performance measures.
