CFO Tasks

Most thought provoking. I expect that some new challenges will arise in the investor relations area. Investment professionals are being taught to include a further dimension in their judgment of investment prospects. In addition to: (1) scrutinizing management, and (2) evaluating financials, they are also learning to (3) assess technological strength and potential.

Is there a format that the CFO can use to handle this aspect?
