Learn how to build your credibility as a financial executive with the CEO and other important stakeholders
In this course, we will look at the credibility of the CFO and of the finance function. We will discuss how we assess credibility as well as the factors that erode and build credibility. Credibility is the foundation for finance’s position in supporting a growth mandate. Credible CFOs position themselves as strategic leaders as they master the execution of the existing business and develop the visibility of future financial results. The ability to deliver predictability helps the executive and the board of directors formulate and execute strategic plans with greater confidence. We will explore strategies that the CFO should be considered to enhance their own credibility as well as that of their team using tools and technology.
