Recommendation

Too many chief financial officers focus on fine-tuning the data instead of interpreting and acting on it, according to this incisive analysis from professionals at the Boston Consulting Group. They advise corporate CFOs to step back and see the bigger picture, so that they can uncover the efficiencies that can add to shareholder value. Understanding the story behind the numbers, and actions they support, will enable these executives to contribute more to corporate success.

Take-Aways

  • The financial reporting tasks in many firms have become mundane and serve little to no purpose.
  • Chief financial officers need to rethink their roles and how their departments can add value.
  • CFOs can succeed by taking actionable steps.
