Introduction
The role of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) across Africa is becoming increasingly complex due to rapid economic changes, digital transformation, regulatory shifts, and the growing demand for sustainable financial practices
In this dynamic environment, CFOs play a critical role in shaping corporate strategies, managing risks, and driving business growth. On the other hand, African corporations operate within an environment characterized by a complex mix of political and economic risks and uncertainties which constantly impact their sustainability, profitability and overall performances as going concerns.
Although mainstream commercial factors continue to shape the operations of the African corporation, the external environment of business impacts the liquidity and profitability of companies particularly in the post-pandemic era in Africa.
While by no means exhaustive, these existing challenges range from the general dynamic and volatility of the national economies of host countries, regulatory and operational complexities, infrastructural deficits and complications, lack of access to capital, corporate governance deficits, and tax disparity challenges obtaining in the various countries on the continent.
Understanding and navigating these complexities is vital to the success and growth of African corporations. On the other hand, the persistence of these obstacles and the emergence of newer ones in light of changing trends in business and transnational commerce implies that there is the need for African corporations deepen their network by sharing new insights, leveraging on operational prospects, and comparative perspectives on the mode of doing things as chief finance officers of corporations on the continent.
