Now in its fourth year, the Business Today Best CFO Awards has created a legacy of success, and reached an aspirational level.
The award recognises the people who have perhaps the most difficult job in corporate India - heading the finance department - especially at a time when the economy is struggling, and companies are struggling even more.
They have to keep a hawk's eye on the top line, bottom line, shareholder returns, market value, debt levels, and so on. And they are also responsible for their companies' continued financial well-being and future strategies to tackle unanticipated changes in the environment. Which CFOs managed this complex role best? And how did they do it? (Full coverage: India's Best CFOs)
