CFOs of the future need broader skillset: ACCA, IMA
THE rapidly changing business environment, with its risks and less stability, means that CFOs (chief financial officers) need to know how to create and sustain value for their businesses, in addition to the way they traditionally managed finance.
"For finance professionals with ambitions firmly set on becoming future CFOs, the career trajectory they will need to follow is already being redefined, a reflection of how the role of today's finance leader is changing, as well as broader technological, social and economic trends impacting business," says a new global survey report, which covered over 750 CFOs and C-suite finance professionals from around the world.
"Future pathways to finance leadership" - the new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) - found that the traditional linear routes through the finance organisation to CFO will apply less in the future.
