Abstract
Both the role of the CFO (chief financial officer) and the discipline of accounting can be viewed as being in transition due to developments in the e-Business world. One perspective suggests that CFOs are becoming ‘e-process architects’—an alternative suggests that the CFO role is becoming commoditized to ‘foot-soldier’ status with other roles such as CIOs (chief information officers) and CTOs (chief technology officers) staking a claim to its traditional accounting space. In this paper we present some preliminary evidence relating to this e-architect/foot-soldier question, and on levels of e-Business activity, based on data obtained from over 120 CFOs in the Irish ICT sector.
