Cybersecurity. Data governance. People leadership. Strategy. None of these were on the syllabus when most accountants qualified — and yet they now land squarely on the CFO's desk.
In part 3 of The Evolving Role of the CFO, David Wray, IESBA Board Advisor, unpacks:
• The functions CFOs must now understand beyond finance — from cybersecurity and data privacy to data governance and HR
• Why "soft skills" is the wrong name: people skills are the hard ones
• The journey from technical leader to people leader to strategic leader — and why no accounting program teaches it
• A question straight from IESBA's global round tables: is it ethical to accept a CFO role when you don't yet have every skill it requires?
• Managing the gap — knowing what you don't know, relying on the right people, and closing it deliberately
Essential listening for anyone stepping up to a CFO role — or deciding whether they're ready to.
