Challenges & Opportunities

 

In the fall of 2010, CFO Research Services, in collaboration with KPMG’s global Financial Management practice, surveyed just under 450 senior finance executives from large companies around the world to discover their views on the changing role of the corporate finance function and their aspirations for the future. A New Role for New Times captures these viewpoints.

 

 

A New Role for New Times is being released with Transforming Finance, which is KPMG’s response to the issues that have been highlighted in the survey. Transforming Finance brings together insights from senior practitioners within KPMG’s Financial Management practice, focusing on the practical matters that Chief Financial Officers need to consider when they are planning the future of their departments.

KPMG’s deep capabilities in the core drivers of change — process, organization, information technology and risk and control — can help organizations transform their finance capabilities to drive business value across the enterprise while seeking to ensure the integrity of the processes and information delivered to key stakeholders.
