Senior Officer — CFO

Relentless worldwide competition requires organizations to drive costs down and eliminate inefficiencies. The battles are never won but must be fought again daily. Even more important than efficiency is effectiveness, which requires enlightened and vigilant leadership to discern between business expenses and investments. Continuous evaluation of business issues and their probable impacts is necessary to develop and execute successful strategies.

ISSUES

Today’s Chief Financial Officers are not only responsible for controlling costs but also must measure, monitor and safeguard all resources. The CFO is often directly or indirectly responsible for risk management which can be a complex and rapidly changing task. Other officers may look to their CFO for assistance in evaluating, designing and implementing systems and procedures to accomplish all of these tasks.

Controlling costs begins with knowing what your costs are. Effective systems are necessary to control costs and to enhance productivity. Risk management protects current resources and minimizes future liabilities to the greatest extent possible.

"I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving; To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it — but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
