Contributed by: R V K S and Associates.
Chaordic perfectly describes the environment finance leaders now operate in, a fusion of chaos and order. In March 2025, R Venkatakrishnan wrote an article titled Accounting in the Era of STEM, published in The Hindu Business Line. The piece explored the changing landscape of the finance profession amidst the rise of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics disciplines. The response was overwhelming and encouraging. It prompted a deeper reflection—not just on accounting per se, but on the evolving nature of leadership in finance, particularly the CFO’s role.
