SAS for the CFO: Helping CFOs Adjust to an Expanding Role 2006-10-01 SAS Institute

Driven by regulation, restructuring, increased accountability and shareholder scrutiny, the Chief Financial Officer's (CFO) role has expanded in recent years. Some companies have passed on the duties of a chief operating officer to the CFO. In addition, mergers and acquisitions have plunged CFOs deep into negotiations around business development, corporate culture, human capital and marketing. Even when it comes to reporting, the CFO's horizons have broadened. Financial management used to mean little more than reporting historical results of legal entities. However, changing capital markets, deregulation and globalization require financial professionals to go beyond reporting on the past; they must also interpret past results for their impact on the current business environment to plan for the future.
