CFO Series: Chief Reviewer

This presentation focuses on one key role we all share - being a reviewer. Every financial professional must review. We review processes, systems, test results, performance, taxes, financials, timelines, and progress. The spotlight is to enhance our skills as a reviewer. Are we great at listening, and asking the right questions? We will also discuss a high-level overview of taxation and the newer skills needed to be an effective financial leader. Technology is always moving forward, just as we should. This seminar includes several case studies and numerous practical examples for participants to employ.
