center for accounting transformation

historically, vendor selection has been primarily driven by operations or it teams. however, recent research by the chief executive group for the cfo leadership council shows that finance teams play a critical role in vendor selection. forward-thinking cas teams should take a cue from these finance teams and broaden their service offerings to help clients be more successful.
