The current economic environment has created another set of unique, unparalleled demands on the roles and responsibilities of both chief financial officers and senior financial managers in meeting financial and operational issues, especially for troubled organizations. This unique, interactive workshop will be conducted using a mini-series of actual cases that have been specifically selected and adapted to highlight the expanded requirements placed upon financial executives during the current recessionary times. Extraordinary events generally cause various crises to occur within all organizations, especially during recessions, forcing organizations to confront issues not normally seen during normal business environments. This seminar will highlight some of these issues and dilemmas that have caused varying problems for organizations.
