The Challenges Controllers Face in Changing Times: Understanding Their Evolving Roles and Strategic Partnership


OVERVIEW
The turbulent ever-changing and technology driven world of business requires changing and evolving roles for controllers. The focus is currently more on the soft side of business, rather than accounting and reporting. It is more about people pleasing, than pencil pushing. Studies have shown the controllers who want to rise in the ranks to CFO must learn to put down their pencils and master the soft skills.
