Introduction: The chief financial officer undoubtedly plays a vital role in the business development of enterprises, especially for listed companies, which plays an important role in corporate governance. The following is the ability of the chief financial officer of a listed company that I brought to you, hoping to help you.
For the financial director of a listed company, I think he should have the following abilities.
(A) having both ability and political integrity-basic ability
1, character
Good moral character is a quality that every ordinary person should have, especially for a person engaged in financial work. As CFO, what do you think De? More important than what? Only? . Shown in: good personal quality, excellent professional ethics, high sense of responsibility and persistent professionalism.
The financial department is an important department of an enterprise. The capital of the enterprise operates here, and all kinds of business secrets of the enterprise are also among them. As the financial director of a listed company, only with good personal qualities and excellent professional ethics can he be loyal to the enterprise, and can he look at the problem from the perspective of the enterprise owner and be responsible for the company and minority shareholders, thus guiding the enterprise to maximize its value.
An honest, dedicated and responsible CFO will gain the trust of superiors and subordinates, so that he can carry out his work smoothly.
2. Talent
First of all, having solid accounting expertise is the foundation of a qualified financial controller. Accounting is a highly professional job. For the increasingly strict supervision of listed companies, if the chief financial officer does not master the newly promulgated and revised accounting standards, fiscal and taxation policies and management rules of listed companies, it will easily bring risks to the company's financial management.
Furthermore, the compound knowledge structure is the state that the chief financial officer of a listed company should reach. Listed companies are faced with the broad masses of investors in the whole society, and they need to be responsible to minority shareholders, and the problems to be solved are also more complicated. Therefore, for the chief financial officer of a listed company, in addition to having a certain depth in accounting, he should broaden his knowledge and enhance his knowledge and ability in taxation, law, finance, enterprise management, mergers and acquisitions, investment and financing, corporate governance and so on.
In addition, the ability to update their knowledge in time is also a necessary ability for the financial director of listed companies. In recent years, China's accounting standards have been constantly revised and supplemented, and the fiscal and taxation policies and supervision methods of listed companies have emerged one after another. If the chief financial officer of a listed company can't update his knowledge in these aspects and improve his knowledge structure in time, he will easily be stretched to the limit in the daily operation and management of the company.
(B) enterprise management and control-business capabilities
Business ability should be a necessary ability for the financial director of a listed company. CFO is not just the company's? Mr. accountant? , or just let it go? Mr. accountant? Just do a good job. For the chief financial officer of a listed company, besides accounting, cost analysis and statement preparation, he should also be familiar with the processes and operations in various fields of the enterprise, such as investment and financing management, merger and reorganization, tax planning, comprehensive budget management and risk management. He should know and be good at closely combining financial work with the company's strategy, operation and process, and actively use his professional knowledge and experience to provide services for enterprise decision-making, risk monitoring and operation management.
1, standardize internal accounting ability
This is the basic skill of the chief financial officer in business ability. If an enterprise's accounting is not standardized, rigorous or even chaotic, then other matters will be difficult to manage smoothly, and the accounting information provided to the company's management will be distorted, which will lead to decision-making mistakes.
2, the ability to straighten out the financial management system
Straightening out the company's financial management system is the first thing for the chief financial officer to start enterprise financial management. Imagine that if a CFO can't figure out how to straighten out an enterprise's financial management system or doesn't straighten it out at all, his financial management will have no reliable foundation, just like? Reed on the wall? -Top-heavy and shallow? It is inevitable that he can't make a difference in the macro-financial operation, strategic planning and decision-making, effective risk prevention, etc.
3, the ability to organize the construction of internal control system
In the process of survival and development, enterprises will face many risks, such as system defect risk, management decision-making risk, market supervision risk and so on. Especially those companies that are in the stage of diversification and rapid development, there are many subsidiaries and shareholding companies. How to control them, which should be managed and which should be released, is an important task of the financial director of the enterprise. As a chief financial officer, how to establish and improve the company's internal control system to prevent and resolve risks, and how to realize the scientific management and control of subsidiaries and joint-stock companies by the headquarters through the construction of internal control system are very important signs to reflect its ability.
4. The ability to establish a budget management model
? The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first? . The larger the enterprise scale, the more important budget management is in enterprise operation. The chief financial officer should organize the establishment of a budget management model suitable for the company's characteristics (promote comprehensive budget management when conditions permit), decompose the strategic objectives of the company into financial objectives and performance indicators, and issue them to subsidiaries and joint-stock companies (or responsibility centers) under the control of the company, make financial preparations for fund raising, cost control and income composition, so as to plan ahead and finally promote the enterprise to achieve its strategic objectives.
5, meticulous "financial analysis ability"
Nowadays, enterprises are not only facing a complex social environment, but also their own operations are increasingly diversified and large-scale, and listed companies are facing more and more strict market supervision. This requires that the chief financial officer of a listed company must have meticulous financial analysis ability, be good at using his own professional knowledge and experience, analyze key problems in the complicated situation of enterprises, extract the essence of problems from specific affairs, and quickly resolve hidden risks.
6. Rich investment and financing management capabilities.
Investment and financing management is the necessary work for the healthy development and rapid expansion of enterprises. Investment and financing management ability can better reflect the value of the chief financial officer of listed companies.
In investment management, the chief financial officer of a listed company should balance the relationship between income and risk, and prudently carry out the merger and reorganization of enterprises.
In financing management, the chief financial officer of listed companies should make good use of appropriate financing channels and financing methods, balance the relationship among financing cost, capital demand and financing cycle, and choose the best financing scheme for enterprises.
(c) Impact promotion-management capacity
It is self-evident that the financial director of a listed company, as a senior manager of the enterprise, needs to have excellent management ability. Management ability is reflected in the influence on others and affairs.
If you can't influence others and push things forward according to your own knowledge and judgment, then it won't help if you are proficient in your major, rich in experience and accurate in judgment. As the chief financial officer of a listed company, his ability to influence and promote should be equal to his ability in business.
1, team building ability
Cultivating and bringing up an excellent accounting and financial management team is a special ability that the chief financial officer of a listed company should have. Teams should have the same vision and values, and team members can cooperate effectively and work efficiently.
As an excellent CFO, you should not only supervise and demand subordinates, but also trust, guide, authorize and be grateful to help subordinates improve their professional knowledge and work ability, so as to win their heartfelt support and support.
2, communication and coordination ability
In recent years, listed companies are faced with a complex economic environment and increasingly strict market supervision, which urgently requires financial directors to get rid of daily accounting and trivial matters and actively cultivate and improve their communication and coordination skills in internal and external relations of enterprises.
In terms of internal relations, the chief financial officer needs to maintain good communication with employees at all levels of the company, arouse their enthusiasm for work, and handle the relationship with the general manager, secretary-general, operators and internal auditors.
In terms of external relations, the chief financial officer needs to correctly handle the relations with banks, taxes, creditors and so on. For the financial director of a listed company, it is especially necessary for him to strengthen communication and coordination with the government's fiscal and taxation departments, accounting firms and other intermediaries, the CSRC and its dispatched institutions, shareholders, etc., because he will organize more participation in mergers and acquisitions of enterprises.
