Abstract:
Facing volatile energy and commodity prices, unpredictable credit markets, banking-sector disarray, and job and housing market turmoil, companies have inevitably shifted priorities from maximizing profits to managing cash flow, working capital, and liquidity. This shift has put the spotlight on the CFO. In response, finance executives must shuffle their own priorities, providing extra reassurance about their companies' performance to colleagues and external stakeholders while becoming more heavily involved in strategy, investment decisions and day-to-day operational matters.
