The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) have both suggested that the need for a blended role of both ‘Chief Financial’ and ‘Chief Technology’ officer or CFTO could gain traction this year. This is because of the growing importance of Big Data and technology in business strategy. Tim MacCarrick, Global CFO for Qlik and also an expert on Big Data analytics and Business Discovery talks about this.
