CFO Surveys

Executing your company’s growth strategy - Getting it right

In collaboration with CPA Australia, Deloitte is pleased to present our fourth Southeast Asia CFO Survey ‘Executing your company’s growth strategy’.

This report outlines the views and sentiments of finance leaders across Southeast Asia on the market and financial prospects in the coming year, their business focuses in the face of uncertainties, the finance function’s current participation in the organisation’s strategic decision-making, and how involved they aspire to be and what steps they are taking to get there.

Past surveys

The CFO as the Talent Champion

In this report, we explored the performance and capability gaps of talent in the Finance functions and in the overall organisations in the region, and it is found that 64% of CFOs are less than confident that their organisations have the talent required to meet their business objectives.

Coupled with the market uncertainties and the war for talent, our study shows that there is a need to align the goals and priorities of CFOs, management and the HR function, and build towards a common talent agenda for the organisation.

Riding the SEA Growth Wave

This survey revealed that it is essential for CFOs to step up as a business partner to drive growth and performance, particularly in the ever-changing landscape of Southeast Asia.

Risk Redefined

The findings revealed that CFO involvement in risk management practices are being redefined in this region in order to keep up with increasing regulations and compliance requirements.
