Programme Overview

Singapore : The Financial Hub of Asia

In 2024, CFOs are playing an increasingly important role in the business world. They are no longer just responsible for the financial health of their companies but are also expected to be strategic partners to the CEO and other senior executives. CFOs are now involved in a wide range of decisions, from setting corporate strategy to managing risk.

Curated with a strong emphasis on financial leadership, how to leverage technologies and how to utilise CFO as a growth lever, the Chief Financial Officer programme offered by Singapore Management University will develop you as a financial leader with vision, purpose, and passion.

You will be endowed with four key pillars of being a memorable and effective CFO and a strategic partner to your CEO and organisation as you steer towards the world of digital transformation, high paced growth and global pressures.
