FUTURE ROLE OF THE FINANCE DIRECTOR

Abstract

The paper argues that the role of the finance director — hitherto confined primarily to ensuring that controls are complied with and that ‘the numbers’ add up — is going through a period of unprecedented change. As the job description is broadened to include such matters as fashioning corporate strategy and handling investor relations the training provided by the accountancy route is called into question.
