Features: Through our research, we attempt to provide comprehensive guiding principles for financial professionals to help them better adapt to the needs of the 21st century. Many of the methods described in this book appeared on the agenda of the board 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 experience and lessons to meet the needs of readers with various demands. We sincerely thank all those who contributed to the completion of this book, including numerous CFOs who provided positive suggestions and opinions through our surveys, interviews, and case studies. We hope to continue our connection with them in subsequent financial best practices investigations. Internally at PwC, we would like to thank Jon Green, who structured the ideas of everyone involved and ensured that this book has a consistent, logical thread connecting both the CFOs and the architects of the company's future.
