Programme Overview

The role of the CFO has broadened. Traditional tasks like bookkeeping, financial statements, and statutory compliance are now seen as minimum requirements. The modern CFO is a strategic partner in the C-Suite who is also expected to straddle financial decisions with value-creation strategies, ground operations in financial criteria while leading the firms through growth.

How can CFOs balance traditional responsibilities and modern mandates to lead substantive change for their companies?

In this context, IIM Calcutta’s Chief Financial Officer Programme gears aspiring and evolving CFOs and financial leaders to strike that balance in the C-Suite with an expertise beyond the finance function.
