The role of the CFO has changed drastically over the past decade.

Over the last year, the pandemic created a veil of economic uncertainty for many businesses. While the CEO often sits in the “visionary driver’s seat”, CFOs are increasingly asked to support innovative strategy.

For CFOs accustomed to traditional methods of leading in their role, this new shift may take some re-imagination.

When planning for 2022 and beyond, there are areas that CFOs should consider incorporating into their financial and overall business strategies including: employee digital skill training like AI and machine learning; diversity and inclusion to empower employees; rebuilding financial structures; and more.

Today’s financial leaders’ remit has broadened, and their profiles have evolved from “number crunchers” into multi-tasking strategic stewards of the CEO’s vision, who simultaneously steer profitability and productivity.

Business environments are getting more competitive, and companies are upping their technology and management abilities to perform more efficiently.

Join the speaker of this CPE session by Manish Gupta to understand what key role CFOs can and would be playing in years to come to help the company steer in such competitive environments.

Learning Objectives

  • To discuss key priorities in front of CFOs to focus on in the coming years.
  • To analyze best practices around to tackle such priorities.
  • To investigate how to use technology to perform more efficiently.
  • To inspect key roles of CFOs in the near future.

In management accounting or managerial accounting, managers use the provisions of accounting information to better inform themselves before they decide matters within their organizations, which aids their management and performance of control functions.

Management accounting is more than a vital process of preparing management reports and accounts with accurate and timely financial and statistical data. It is also a profession that involves management decision-making, devising planning systems, and assisting management in the creation and implementation of an organization’s strategy.

Ultimately costing principles, such as the causality principle, must be converted into practical practices with supporting tools.

This CPE session examines how cost modeling has evolved over the last century. It will describe the trends and obstacles that have helped or delayed developments. 

These evolving areas and trends include:

  • The expansion from product costing to include channel and customer profitability reporting and analysis.
  • The integration of managerial accounting with other enterprise and corporate performance management (EPM/CPM) methods (e.g., the balanced scorecard, incentive compensation, risk management, supply chain management).
  • The shift from historical reporting to predictive accounting (e.g., marginal/incremental costing; capacity-sensitive driver-based rolling financial forecasts, performance-based and driver-based budgeting, customer lifetime value [CLV]).
  • Imbedding analytics into managerial accounting (e.g., correlation and segmentation analysis, recursive partitioning with decision trees).
  • Acceptance of two or more co-existing managerial accounting methods.
  • Chargebacks to internal users and service level agreements of information technology (IT) and shared services.
  • Recognition of barriers slowing the adoption rate of advanced managerial accounting (e.g., resistance to change, being held accountable, weak leadership) to gain buy-in.

Learning Objectives

  • To discuss how these trends have expanded accountants from “bean counters” to “bean growers.”
  • To analyze how to calculate profit and loss statements for customers displaying profit margin layers.
  • To inspect how to identify and differentiate strategic KPIs in a balanced scorecard and operational performance indicators (PIs) in dashboards.
  • To investigate how to perform “predictive accounting” for capacity-sensitive driver-based budgets / rolling financial forecasts, what-if analysis, and outsourcing decisions.
  • To discuss how to imbed statistics and analytics into a product, channel, and customer profitability analysis.
  • To analyze how to overcome implementation barriers such as behavioral resistance to change and fear of being held accountable.
