IN THIS REPORT

Could it be that the controller position, long considered the stepping stone to a CFO job, is actually a dead-end?

While controllers are sometimes promoted to the top finance slot within their own companies, a study by executive recruiter Korn/Ferry shows corporations rarely hire sitting controllers from other companies to be their new CFO.

In this multi-media report, controllers worried about their mobility will find CFO.com's coverage of the study, CFO magazine's analysis of what controllers can do to expand their career options, video interviews with Korn/Ferry, and an interactive webcast that has been viewed by more than 1,000 controllers to date.
