The pressures on the CFO & the finance function Transformation of finance is essentially driven by pressures on the CFO coming from two directions: Changes in the external environment such as new competitive success factors, the regulatory environment and shareholder demands. From managers within the business demanding for better information and support to cope with the challenges of a more competitive marketplace and changing customer needs.

The required shift in finance and accounting The roles of finance and accounting have changed over the last few years and will continue to change over the future. In place of the tradition scorekeepers and tabulators, both accounting and finance personnel now find themselves operating in cross-functional teams working to identify: new business opportunities streamlining operations contributing to decision making improving profitability This change in the finance space is described as a partnership between finance and operations.
