CFO Insights: COVID-19 checklist – Practical steps for the immediate, midterm, and long term, Part II
No two black swans look alike, which is partly why it is so hard to see them coming.
While these unforeseen events generally pack a monumentally disruptive punch, they are often viewed through different lenses—and may require different responses.
In a previous edition of CFO Insights, we outlined six responses—actually imperatives—that CFOs ought to consider amid ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19. Then, based on that framework, we presented five checklists for finance chiefs in a special edition of CFO Insights, on topics ranging from maintaining workforce health to bolstering liquidity.
In this issue, we outline more of the immediate, midterm, and long-term actions that CFOs may want to take. By considering such relevant issues, CFOS may have some of the information they need to recover from this crisis in time.
