Product Details

Evolving demands on the profession are redefining the roles of finance professionals. New skills and mindsets are emerging to meet the challenges of a sustainable world.

Finance functions must now focus on maximizing value creation by:

  • Fostering a long-term perspective
  • Adopting a multi-capital approach
  • Expanding relationships
  • Transforming business models for enduring success

Based on two AICPA & CIMA flagship reports — Re-defining finance for a sustainable world and The Chief Financial Officer (CFO): A study of role expectations, conflicts and ambiguity — the authors focus on the issues affecting the office of CFO and the finance functions, recognizing the strong link between sustainability management and the financial performance of an organization.

To thrive in the future, finance professionals need to:

  • Master technological transformations
  • Adapt to new roles
  • Foster business partnerships
  • Integrate sustainability objectives

This webcast will address the implications for organizations, CFOs, finance functions, and management accounting practitioners.
