Abstract



Based on the related information disclosed in the annual report of SSE A-share, this paper makes an empirical analysis of the status and role of CFO in corporate governance. The result indicates that the status of CFO is low in corporate governance, and CFO still plays a traditional role. The result also demonstrates the main factors that determine the status and role of CFO are personal status and seniority. As a result, effective measures must be adopted to enhance the status and role of CFO from the perspective of corporate governance.
Key words: CFO, corporate governance, listed companies
Résumé: A partir des informations révélées dans le rapport annuel de l’action-A de la SSE( Shanghai Stock Exchange/Bourse des valeurs de Shanghai), l’article présent procède à une analyse empirique du statut et du rôle du CFO(Chief Financial Officer) dans la gouvernance de la société. Le résultat montre que le CFO jouit d’un statut bas dans la gouvernance de la société et joue encore un rôle traditionnel, et que les facteurs déterminant son statut et rôle sont ses statut personnel et ancienneté. A cet effet, des mesures effectives doivent être adoptées pour hausser le statut et le rôle du CFO dans la perspective de la gouvernance de la société.
