3rd Annual Australia CFO Program: Changing Role of the CFO - Integrating Finance and Strategy

In today’s world, CFOs are more involved to play an increasing key role in strategy formulation and implementation of growth opportunities for their companies. As CFO or senior finance leader, you are called upon to identify and assess profitable business ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and shape internal growth strategy.

You need to gain a deeper understanding of business strategy, to link finance and strategy, and to be able to communicate your financial perspectives and analysis in a meaningful and more effective way to other non-financial leaders of the strategy team. In fact, more than 50% of the 440 senior finance executives surveyed from around the world reported that their department now plays a larger role in strategy development and execution than five years ago, according to a KPMG survey.

This leadership development program: The Changing Role of the CFO - Integrating Finance and Strategy, is designed to provide you with strategic perspectives, financial strategies, and communication techniques to help you contribute more to strategy development and value creation in your organization.
