We really like this 10 question, simple survey used to calibrate where your financial closing process sits in the evolutionary value chain of financial processes. More importantly, we believe you will agree. This short Financial Close Assessment identifies how well your close is delivering value to your business. It will also provide you a roadmap to improving your close.
This tool has been developed to help you determine your General Ledger structure, summarize the complexity of detail required for major accounts and where streamlining efforts may have the highest returns – providing a big boost to closing quicker with better account analysis.
CFO.University isn’t original in using the People, Process and Systems model. The terms “golden triangle”, “business triangle”, even the “eternal triangle” to describe this critical business triumvirate has been in the business lexicon for as long as I can remember.

CFO.University’s Short Form AFT (Accounting, Finance, Treasury) Assessment tool is modeled after the Four Pillars of CFO success: Accounting, Finance, Treasury and Leadership.
It uses a simple scoring system that quickly identifies your organization’s pillars of strength and pillars that will benefit from more attention.
