The DNA of the CFO series

► 55 Part 1: Do you define your CFO role? Or does it define you? The disruption of the CFO's DNA.

CFO role being reshaped by four forces: digital, data, volatile risk, and stakeholder scrutiny and

regulation.

To meet those challenges, CFOs need to re-evaluate their own competencies, and those of their

team …

Released May, 2016

Part 2: Is the future of finance new technology or new people? Preparing for the future finance

function.

Technological innovation is providing an opportunity for CFOs to transform their finance function into

a fact-based decision center for the whole organization. But as many traditional finance tasks are

automated, the profiles and skills of finance people will need to evolve.

Released September, 2016

Part 3 to be released in November 2016 – see EY.com/CFO for more information

people?

CFOs are focused on technological transformation and new skill development


people?

I think the most important thing for a senior executive of this

company – the CEO and myself – is to explore, ‘What is the

future for the business?’ Where do we want the company to

be in five years’ time? … Part of our job as an agency is to

find creative ideas. So we need to know what the future is. I

recently met with two people and we had a discussion about

virtual reality. In another meeting we were talking about

mobility. These are the things a CFO need to look at and

discuss.“

From a skill-set perspective, we are constantly

looking to slowly shift the organization to

automate manual processes. Analytics are key,

so we are growing our base of skills and

positions that do more analytics for our business

partners than we are spending time processing

invoices or expense reports.”

delivers a smarter, more forward-looking and resilient finance function 1 Challenging the assumptions about what constitutes finance talent

The vision that we’ve created is called ‘SMART Finance.’

This means the need to think Strategically, and Mine data

for insights. With an understanding beyond numbers, we

are then in a better position to Analyze and Advise our

business partners in terms of their performance and their

utilization of Resources. This way, we can help to facilitate

the formulation and refinement of the business strategies of

the bank, and optimize the allocation of resources to these

strategies. Most importantly, we need to groom Talent to

make all these SMART things – strategy, mining data,

analysis and resource allocation – happen.”

people?

Some final thoughts from the front lines…

► Some common mistakes as people pursue EPM initiatives:

► Trying to leverage new technology around the current process and organization

► Short term, “quick-win” focus at the expense of a longer term vision and strategy

► Tools are important, but process and organization is what pays the bills

► …And some “leading practices”:

► The business i.e., CFO needs to own the initiative

► The team needs to understand the big picture while still being able to focus on the

details

► An iterative phased approach is almost always better than a big bang

► Understand the vision and roadmap of your technology provider is just as important as

understanding your own vision and roadmap
