CFO Insights explores the implications of Accenture's high-performance finance research and interprets the link between high-performance businesses and the role of the CFO. Written from the CFO's perspective, it provides real-world, relevant examples and flagship interviews with CFOs of high-performing businesses. CFO Insights also features industry analyses prepared by the Accenture Strategy and Business Architecture Practice, case studies, and chapters covering CFO and financial practices in Asia, Latin America, and Europe.
Results from recent Accenture research reveal that high-performance businesses and government embrace entirely new ways of thinking about finance and performance management. These are the organizations that create the greatest value.
Supported by metrics and insights from The Hackett Group, this book presents research results, case studies, summary insights, and extended interviews with CFOs of high-performance businesses to help executives understand what these companies do differently, how they do it and how to emulate them.
Discover how CFOs of companies like Best Buy, Caterpillar Inc, UnitedHealth Group and SAP AG are set apart from their peers. Additionally, take a closer look at what high performance means in the public sector and dynamic parts of the world such as Eastern Europe, Latin America, Japan and China.
