Key findings | Global 
Managing volatility 
Navigating complexity 
The CFO as architect of business value 
•Finance functions have made significant progress in addressing powerful external forces that affect performance 
•Compared with our 2011 study, a lower proportion of CFOs say that regulation, permanent volatility, big data and analytics, and talent, are having a high impact on the performance of their finance function 
•CFOs are more satisfied with the performance of their teams than at any time since 2008 
•Many of the key challenges facing finance relate to complexity, including complex legacy systems, addressing multiple stakeholders needs, supporting complex operating models, and mitigating new and complex risks 
•CFOs are structuring finance so that it has the flexibility to respond to complexity. They are implementing new operating models and technologies—a common theme is standardization 
•Companies are reducing their focus on cost control, and placing greater emphasis on growth activities 
•23% expect that their CFO will drive a broad enterprise transformation agenda in two years’ time 
The rise of digital on the CFO agenda 
•Many organizations are planning to invest heavily in digital technologies 
•Most organizations are at a relatively early stage of harnessing big data 
•CFOs are not just involved in digital technology investment decisions; some are getting in the driver’s seat 
High-performance businesses have more influential CFOs 
•They are more likely to report high levels of satisfaction with their finance function 
•They tend to have CFOs who have seen their strategic influence grow in recent years 
•They are more likely to have carried out operating model rationalization 
•They tend to have finance leaders that are more engaged in assessing technology investments

•Big data and analytics will experience particularly strong increases in investment, as will cloud computing 
•Social media will continue to play a key role in accessing new consumers and establishing a competitive advantage 
•The CFO is heavily involved in assessing technology investments, especially in redefining the cost model of the business and monitoring the return on these investments, once new technologies are deployed
