Are Finance Specialisms Hindering Succession Planning?

In a recent survey by BIE, 43% of respondents felt that the development of specialisms within finance was

hindering CFO succession planning.  Simon Moore, Executive Director, BIE, asks why 
 

Key Points by Simon include:


- It is getting harder to find well-rounded finance talent, no matter the organisation or the industry

- A lack of understanding and exposure to balance sheets is a serious risk moving forward

- It should be incumbent upon CFOs to take responsibility for their team members getting around other functions
