More About This Textbook

Overview

The New CFO Financial Leadership Manual details all of the key tasks, issues and responsibilities every CFO must be on top of in order to properly perform his or her job. It begins by breaking down the CFO's job into categories, placing considerable emphasis on the strategies within the areas in which the modern CFO provides the most value to the company. The book then delves into detailed functional topics which every CFO must be knowledgeable of even though they arethe direct responsibility of the controller and treasurer. Lastly, it addresses key issues that have increased in importance in recent years--including outsourcing, shared services, best practices, and electronic commerce--making this a handy desk reference that the CFO will return to time and again.
