Chief Financial Officers are playing an increasingly important role in today’s public sector. Not only do they oversee the financial management of their organisations but they also provide organisational heads with key strategic support and advice.
Government agencies at all three levels are under increasing pressure to deliver services within much tighter budgets. Under these new pressures, CFOs are becoming ever more important in decision making, and it is vital that any pitch for public sector business recognises CFOs as important stakeholders.
Our 2012 inaugural Public Sector CFO Summit in Sydney brought together 80 CFO’s and senior finance executives from all three levels of government to discuss the challenges of managing the diverse roles and responsibilities of today’s CFO in the public sector.
