Praise for The Complete CFO Handbook
From Accounting to Accountability

"The office of the CFO in corporations today must blend strategy, investor relations, corporate finance, control, budgeting, risk management, and a host of other key areas of expertise and knowledge. Business education, however, tends to be compartmentalized along functional lines and courses and texts specialize in subsets of these subject areas. Fabozzi, Drake, and Polimeni bridge that yawning gap by providing a comprehensive set of materials that can serve as a nice platform to develop managers tasked with the sourcing and managing of funds within organizations. The Complete CFO Handbook is well written and makes extensive use of examples to illustrate key concepts."
-Jacob Thomas
Williams Brothers Professor of Accounting and Finance
Yale School of Management

The role of the CFO in business has expanded significantly in recent years as companies become more accountable to their stakeholders and regulators and as the sophistication of technology, risk management, financial analysis, and financial records processing has increased.

Filled with numerous examples, The Complete CFO Handbook lives up to its name and provides complete coverage of:

The CFO's role in company communications with company stakeholders

The tools and processes by which a CFO may manage risk, including taxes, theenterprise risk management process, and strategies for transferring risk

Performance evaluation and the fundamentals of the capital budgeting process

Traditional cost accounting topics of product costing and strategic cost management

Every CFO's desktop tool, The Complete CFO Handbook expertly provides financial executives with an extensive review of cost accounting as well as the background and tools for managing a company's financial functions.
