The Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 called for major reforms in federal financial management. As we celebrate the first 20 years of this landmark legislation, it is important to reflect on the accomplishments and the remaining challenges. Among the foundational requirements of the CFO Act was a call for the "systematic measurement of performance, the development of cost information and the integration of systems - program, budget and financial.'"! Systems, along with people and processes, are at the heart of highperforming CFO organizations. A lot has been achieved in the past two decades.

In recent years, several laws and regulations have set new requirements for the financial literacy and expertise of members of audit committees. Current NYSE and Nasdaq rules rely heavily on SEC Rule 10A-3(b), which sets required standards of independence, prohibiting an audit committee member from accepting directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer or any subsidiary under most cases. Current regulations and laws vary as to the meaning of financial literacy and financial expertise. Audit committee members are required to be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements under the rules of both the NYSE (Listed Company Manual section 303A.07) and Nasdaq (Rule 4350-4). Both regulations refer to SEC Regulation S-K for the accep...
