The more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous our world becomes, the more society needs corporations to have CFOs at the helm who have great values, high standards and strong technical skills. These will be borne of personal integrity but hugely underscored by being part of a profession. Where too often in modern life there is a deficit of trust, we need to be 100% trustworthy. In this way we serve our shareholders and we serve society.
