Pre-Covid-19, CFOs primarily focused on reporting historical financial performance. The CFO of the post-pandemic embraces emerging trends and leads the organisation in understanding the shifting priorities to shape the future of the company and the industry.
In the months and years ahead, the CFO role must significantly evolve to keep up with the ever-changing environment. To be successful in the role, CFOs need to apply predictive thinking, adopt a greater strategic view, and increase their focus on forward risk assessment and contingency planning.
FutureCFO met with Rangnath Deshpande, CFO ASEAN for DXC Technology, to discuss the challenges and opportunities CFOs must wade through in the run up to 2024.
