CFO Magazine Description:

The Chief Financial Officer's (CFO) role has been under transition for the last decade - but the pace only seems to have increased. The CFO has emerged as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the Board Room, and now shapes corporate strategies. New challenges appear on the horizon continuously and the dilemmas grow by the day. In our view, the need of the hour is to facilitate the on- going transition by creating networks for exchange and engagement. 

Equally important is the need to ensure that the experience and knowledge of today's CFO is harnessed for use by the next-in-line through mentoring platforms. The CFO Institute's programmes and publications have been designed as a means to this end, and help the finance fraternity meet their new benchmarks for success. This is a monthly publication.
