Finance Monthly CFO Awards 2016 Winners Edition

www.finance-monthly.com 7 CFO AWARDS 2016 It is impossible for a company to properly function if it’s not actively investigating and safeguarding its finances and it is the chief financial officers’ performance that can help the company soar to great heights or reach rock bottom. A CFO must be well –versed in all aspects of financial management ranging from simple accounting, through riskmanagement and financial strategies, to broad investment and banking operations. Over the past decade, the role of a CFO has undoubtedly broadened and evolved. Today, many CFOs are given a bigger role in corporate portfolio management and capital allocation and have become prominent as the voice of the organisation in communications to the board and relations with investors and as leaders in performance management. In today’s challenging economic environment, chief financial officers are faced with a challenging and complex medium which necessitates immense business shrewdness and practical knowledge. With such a diverse set of attributes, characteristics and circumstances to consider and a role that seems to be continuously expanding, how does one determine a great CFO? This question and many others were considered by the Finance Monthly research team when tasked with identifying the most talented CFOs from around the globe in order to produce this special awards edition. Each year Finance Monthly reports on over hundreds of transactions from M&As to IPOs, each requiring the expertise and involvement of a CFO. It was in this context that Finance Monthly commissioned its research team to carry out a comprehensive fact-finding exercise to identify some of the very best CFOs working in the corporate world today who are so deserving of recognition.
