Traditionally, the CFO was expected to monitor the financial health of an organization, ensure the integrity of its accounting and reporting systems, and provide key financial data to support strategic decision-making. Today, as businesses have become more complex and global, the role of the CFO has expanded and evolved to strategic business partner, participating in, and driving, the company’s overall strategy.
