New Delhi [India], February 19: The abrupt departure of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) can create instability in finances, disrupt operations, and affect the confidence of the stakeholders. Irrespective of whether the departure is through resignation, termination, or an unexpected vacancy, financial leadership may become absent and cause cash flow management, financial reporting, and investor relations to become at risk. In such a situation, a business faces risks of mismanaged finances, decline in investor confidence, and inefficiency in operation that can bring long-term damage if not addressed appropriately.
