The CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is an annual, open-entry, and global multi-stage business strategy and leadership-focused case study competition, organised by The CharterQuest Institute South Africa.
Split in to two editions; Global-Senior for university students and Continental-Junior for high school students, the competition challenges university students around the world and high school students across Africa to prove they can compete at the highest level. Students are required to solve a set of complex and integrated finance, operational, strategic and ethical problems that beset a real-world global business in the emerging markets.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the continental and global finals of the 2020 edition were postposed to 2021. In an exciting new development, the Top 6 Teams from 2020 will battle it out for three guaranteed slots at the semi-final stage in 2021, whilst all other entrants will compete for the remaining three slots in what promises to a fantastic all-round race.
