Outsourced CFO

Why the role of CFO’s is changing?

According to International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) discussion paper the role and expectations of CFO are continuously changing.  As a result, there is significant growth in demand and expectations of finance leaders. They have become central to helping their organizations navigate an increasingly complex business world.

Earlier CFO’s were viewed typically as the guardian of the financial health of an organization. Overseeing and implementing adequate financial controls infrastructure, governance, compliance, and business ethics. Now the role of CFOs has somewhat changed. CFO’s are expected to participate in driving the organization toward achieving its objectives, increase their support of strategic and operational decision making in a “business partnering” capacity. In short, the role and function of CFO is now evolving from a transactional and cost efficiency focus to an increasingly value-adding strategic focus.
