That's 60% of finance's current responsibilities about to disappear."Gregory Hackett, Co-Founder of the US-based Hackett GroupThe days of the traditional number-crunching finance department are numbered. Increasingly, world class companies are demanding that their finance function add positive value instead of draining revenue. Transaction processing and control account for 84% of their total activities.
