Delhi, January 25, 2022: Leading B-School IIM Calcutta has announced the launch of the second cohort of the CFO Programme with Eruditus, the global leader in making high-quality education accessible and affordable to individuals, companies, and governments worldwide. The CFO programme is for 9-months which is ideal for evolving and aspiring CFOs, holding senior leadership positions. 

The curriculum is designed to help finance professionals acquire the knowledge and skills to be an effective CFO and will provide them with more tools to enhance their leadership and decision-making capabilities. The programme is best suited for professionals who want to have an impact on the overall business of organization and align financial strategies to have maximum impact. The programme would help professionals climb the corporate ladder to next level in addition to providing them with exclusive networking opportunities. 

Online Internship with Certification

Commenting on the programme, Mohan Kannegal, CEO, India and APAC, Eruditus, said, “Recent reports have revealed that only 43% of CFOs have used advanced financial modelling in the past two years to identify future risks and opportunities. This clearly indicates the skill gap. In today’s changing business environment, the role of the modern-day CFO has evolved beyond normal monitoring and reporting of financial data. CFOs today are change makers who overlook the functioning of analysts, accountants, advisors and act as leaders for business expansion. Corporates understand the advanced roles of CFOs and look forward to industry ready CFOs who have the decision-making abilities. This programme will help finance professionals overcome the skill gap to become leaders of tomorrow.”

Prof. Ashok Banerjee of IIM Calcutta said, “The modern-day CFOs role is increasingly inclined towards being more agile, tech-savvy compared to traditional ways. Today, CFOs act as an advisor, consultant for business expansions and take strategic decisions. In order to keep pace with the ever-increasing business demands, CFOs need to continuously upskill themselves.”

Prof. Kaushik Roy of IIM Calcutta further adds, “The program from IIM C is aligned to equip the CFOs to lead the organisation and take imperative business decisions. This collaboration would surely help reach a wider group of senior professionals who feel the data gap and the need to prioritise digitalization while taking strategic decisions in the domain.”
