In this installment of “What Does a CFO DO” we talk about the CFO’s role in the strategic and financial planning process. For a small business owner, with a company of any size, it’s critical that you have a trusted advisor on your team to guide you through this process. Often times, the first step is to work with your CFO to develop and implement a planning process. This includes a structure for developing annual business plans (including detailed financial budgets), and a system to monitor and report on variances from the plan. If your business is lacking this structure, it’s difficult to achieve accountability and maximize performance. It is often the CFO and the business managers that lead, refine, and implement these processes. This planning process is important for many financial reasons, one of which being that it will allow your business to be run in a more controlled manner. Capital expenditures should ideally be made within the context of a pre-established budget. Somebody wants to buy a new tractor, or a new computer…what’s in the budget? Your CFO should establish these budgets annually and update as needed to adapt to changing business conditions. Along the same lines, the CFO should evaluate potential purchases and leases, ensuring that they not only fit within the capital budget but also offer the best option for the company’s needs. Is …

London is still one of the most important places for internationally active hedge funds. But that could be changing. Many funds are moving, especially to Switzerland, where taxes are lower — and regulations looser.Analysts estimate that between 4000 and 10000 hedge fund managers are employed in the City of London. But because banking taxes are higher than ever, and managers are complaining about too much regulation, many are thinking of leaving London. What will happen to the city’s status as a financial center? Birgit Maass reports.

Blood on Their Hands Michael Hudson, a research professor of Economics at University of Missouri, Kansas City and a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College Financial crashes were well understood for a hundred years after they became a normal financial phenomenon in the mid-19th century. Much like the buildup of plaque deposits in human veins and arteries, an accumulation of debt gained momentum exponentially until the economy crashed, wiping out bad debts — along with savings on the other side of the balance sheet. Physical property remained intact, although much was transferred from debtors to creditors. But clearing away the debt overhead from the economy’s circulatory system freed it to resume its upswing. That was the positive role of crashes: They minimized the cost of debt service, bringing prices and income back in line with actual “real” costs of production. Debt claims were replaced by equity ownership. Housing prices were lower — and more affordable, being brought back in line with their actual rental value. Goods and services no longer had to incorporate the debt charges that the financial upswing had built into the system. Financial crashes came suddenly. They often were triggered by a crop failure causing farmers to default, or “the autumnal drain” drew down bank liquidity when funds were needed to move the crops. Crashes often also revealed large financial fraud and “excesses.” This was not really a “cycle.” It was a scallop …

The European debt crisis explained: The debt levels around the globe are unprecedented in peacetime. The odds of restructurings and/or defaults are higher than most believe. When does debt become unsustainable? The video shows the debt levels of numerous countries have reached “problem” levels. Since the bill coming due in the form of maturing bonds is so large, policymakers in Europe have no easy way out. “Solutions” may include printing money to create inflation or debt restructurings/defaults; or a combination of the two.
