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.
