How Deloitte Says CFOs Are Preparing For Uncertainty In The Wake Of The Election Excerpt from a Forbes interview of Steve Gallucci, global leader of Deloitte's CFO program Forbes: Deloitte’s quarterly CFO survey showed that most people in the position view November’s election as consequential to their organizations. Even if there weren’t an election featuring two candidates with wildly differing policy ideas, there are a host of significant geopolitical and economic issues CFOs need to deal with. Considering the state of U.S. politics, geopolitics and the economy, was there anything surprising about how CFOs responded to the survey? Gallucci: "There were some things that we pulled from the data that were interesting. For example, while CFOs are still very risk averse—less than 15% said that this was a good time to take risk—a lot of them were actually upbeat quarter-on-quarter around the capital markets. This data was collected before the rate cut, but there was a strong expectation [of one], and all signals indicated that rates will continue to trend downward in the next four quarters. That was a pivot over the last seven or eight quarters, as rates were rising, the capital markets were very inactive. When capital markets are inactive, there’s less capital spending, there’s less M&A." Re: election "On the day-to-day running of the business, that particular stat has not shifted. In the longer term, a lot of scenario planning is happening. When you step back and think about where we might be from a policy perspective in six months to a year, it could look different from a tariff perspective. It could look different from a labor perspective. CFOs more broadly have built into their psyche, [and] they approach their roles with an expectation that there will be shocks to the system that come from all angles: geopolitical shocks, certainly elections. [About] 45% of the world's GDP is electing a new leader this year. CFOs have built in an attribute of being agile and able to pivot. They’re looking at a whole host of factors in terms of making decisions around capital spending, M&A, new projects. [There is] a lot of variability in all those areas—the economy, geopolitics, consumer spending..." Re: interest rates <now have> "a little more certainty towards CFOs in that particular area of the private markets. They can start to plan around that. Once you have clarity in a particular area and a sense that things have less unpredictability, you'll start to see some more actions on the part of corporates and CFOs, specifically, around things like M&A and capital spending. " As always, follow the money & who's in charge of it.

Great points in this article about how today everything in the business relies on technology, meaning that the CIO needs to be increasingly strategic and future focused. “The modern CIO in a private equity environment is no longer just a back-office role but a strategic partner capable of driving the business forward.”
