the past few years has given rise to a large number of companies
that require leadership in a wide range of financial, taxation and
administration matters. In addition many finance officers have not
yet experienced some of the challenges they must deal with on a
daily basis including rapidly changing financing environments and
sharp changes in business cycles. This program is designed to address
the need for practical information and guidance on issues that impact
the daily life of a technology company CFO.
