Anurag Batra, Chairman and Editor in Chief BWBusinessworld on the occasion of Best CFO Awards 2016 said that the role of today’s CFO is not just of any other Chief Financial Officer, but the same person is playing the role of a CEO, CMO, CIO, CXO and other positions of any organisation.
Mr. Batra agreed that CFO’s are supplementing the decision making process of CEO’s and not to doubt, the role of a CFO is multitasking and they are not only involved in optimizing, planning and budgeting and managing enterprise risk but their bigger concern now is compliance and internal controls.
Also the traditional role of a CFO has been managing investors and stakeholder relations, making sure that real transactions happening fall into the framework of processing environment.
