| 301 CFO of the Future: Trusted Advisor or Compliance Enforcer? |
Speaker:
Delbert Krause, Director, Product Marketing, Cognos
Tim O’Bryan, Director Innovation Center, Cognos
|
Focus:
Of all the various roles Finance can play in a company, the two most important to balance are complying with legal, tax, and accounting regulatory requirements and dispensing sound advice on the efficient allocation of resources. In the first, Finance must focus on checks and controls. In the second, it leverages its extensive expertise in understanding what resources are required to generate the revenue growth and profitability that increase the market value of the company. How Finance strikes this balance (and many others) to a large measure determines the success or failure of the company. Is your budget and plans a tool to control costs, or to sponsor investment? Depending on your industry, and where your company is in the market life cycle, one choice is may be better than the other.
