Features: Through our research, we attempt to provide comprehensive guiding principles for financial professionals to better adapt to the demands of the next century. Many of the methods described in this book appeared on the agenda of boards of directors several years ago, yet they are rarely applied in practical operations. Perhaps we have not provided a complete solution for the future, but at least we have raised many novel and valuable questions. Among the numerous fictional or real examples, charts, or lists in this book, we emphasize practical experiences and lessons to meet the needs of readers with various requirements. We sincerely thank all those who contributed to the completion of this book, including numerous CFOs who provided positive suggestions and opinions during our research, interviews, and case studies. We hope to maintain contact with them in subsequent financial best practices surveys. Internally at PwC, we would like to thank Jon Green, who structured everyone's ideas and ensured that the book has a logical thread that connects CFOs and the future architects of the company from beginning to end.
