Topics include:

•    the strategic purpose of the finance function,
•    talent and organizational structure,
•    continuous improvement initiatives,
•    tools and techniques for improvement, and
•    measurement and communication.

Also included in the report are case studies describing successful finance functions at the following best-practice organizations:
