2026 EY Global DNA of the CFO Report

Findings from the report:

  1. CFOs are expected to deliver enterprise value, yet many are not consistently taking ownership of decisions where outcomes are uncertain or long term.
  2. AI offers significant potential, but progress is often constrained less by technology than by the mindset, confidence and capabilities of CFOs and their teams.
  3. Finance transformation can depend as much on people — behaviors, skills and ways of working — as on systems and data.
