The skills required to be a successful CFO in traditional finance are certainly important, but successful crypto CFOs have an entirely new set of skills to develop.While there is some overlap between traditional CFO skills and those needed for crypto companies, the simple truth is that blockchain technology is too transformative for CFOs to not update their knowledge.Here are seven ways that managing crypto assets differs from managing fiat:Transactions are more difficult to trackFiat: Understanding exactly who sent or received a transaction is simple. The beneficiary and bank are clearly identified. If a transaction for $10,000 was sent to ABC Construction, it’s automatically labelled by the bank and there’s no guesswork required.Crypto: Imagine if instead of seeing “ABC Construction,” (...)

By then, three years since the deal, Zuckerberg was growing impatient, Acton says, and he expressed his frustrations at an all-hands meeting for WhatsApp staffers. “The CFO projections, the ten-year outlook—they wanted and needed the WhatsApp revenues to continue to show the growth to Wall Street,” Acton recalls. Internally, Facebook had targeted a $10 billion revenue run rate within five years of monetization, but such numbers sounded too high to Acton—and reliant on advertising.

“Blockchain and related trust enhancing technologies are poised to redefine the automotive industry and how consumers purchase, insure and use vehicles.” — Chris Ballinger, former CFO and Director of Mobility Services at Toyota Research Institute and current CEO and Chairman of Mobility Open #blockchain Initiative (MOBI).When it comes to vehicles, one of the most common consumer complaints is the lack of transparency. From uncertainties about whether a dealer is offering a fair purchase price to mistrust about rising insurance costs and questions about recalls and service requirements, car owners are largely kept out of the loop when it comes to the details about their vehicle.One of the many benefits derived from adopting blockchain in the auto industry is the potential to make everything (...)

Maersk CFO Jakob Stausholm in shock resignation over reorganisation - The Loadstar
▻https://theloadstar.co.uk/maersk-cfo-jakob-stausholm-shock-resignation-reorganisation

Maersk Group’s chief financial officer, Jakob Stausholm, has decided to leave the company at the end of the month, as his finance role will now fall under the remit of IT.

Mr Stausholm joined AP Møller-Maersk in December 2016 to play a leading role in the Danish firm’s restructuring from conglomerate into the Transport & Logistics business, where he held an influential role as chief finance, strategy and transformation officer.

World’s Biggest Container Liner Looks for Deals Outside Shipping - Bloomberg

https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iQvtbZxRnn.8/v0/1200x800.jpg

The world’s largest container company will start looking for takeover targets outside the shipping industry as it tries to pre-empt a new competitive landscape in which customers are morphing into rivals.

Jakob Stausholm, A. P. Moller-Maersk A/S’s chief financial officer and head of transformation and strategy, says the company needs to expand its land-based activities to meet a growing need from clients.

“We’re currently very big in the ocean segment, and we’d rather grow in non-ocean, so it may be a good idea to look for M&A targets there,” Stausholm said in an interview Tuesday.
[…]
Now, Maersk is expanding its competitive universe to include different types of companies, including couriers like FedEx Corp. and UPS Inc., the CFO said.

“We’re not going to be direct competitors to FedEx and UPS, but we will see them as peers,” he said. “They are the global integrators in their industries and we want to become that in our industry.”

Maersk CEO Can’t Imagine Self-Sailing Box Ships in His Lifetime

The CFO declined to identify what specific parts of the land-based logistics chain Maersk may target for takeovers.

Kimberly-Clark pays for layoffs with Trump tax cuts - Business Insider Deutschland
▻http://www.businessinsider.de/kimberly-clark-pays-for-layoffs-with-trump-tax-cuts-2018-1?r=US&IR=T

Kimberly-Clark — the maker of Huggies and Kleenex — is cutting up to 5,500 jobs.
The company said it would use savings from the new Republican tax plan to fund the layoffs and restructuring.
Other companies have pledged to offer bonuses to workers based on their savings — but the result hasn’t always been as positive as it seems.

While many companies are using President Trump’s tax cuts to give workers bonuses or raise wages, the maker of Kleenex and Huggies is doing the opposite.

Kimberly-Clark announced on Tuesday that it would cut between 5,000 and 5,500 jobs, or roughly 12 or 13% of the company’s employees.

The personal care product company also announced plans to shut down 10 manufacturing facilities. The restructuring program is estimated to save Kimberly-Clark $500 to $550 million by the end of 2021.

The company said it plans to use savings from the Republican tax plan to fund the cuts and other restructuring efforts, The New York Times reported. Tax savings would additionally be used for capital investments and to allocate capital to shareholders, CFO Maria Henry said in a call with analysts.

A number of companies have announced pay hikes and bonuses in response to the new tax plan. Walmart said that it would give employees bonuses due to the new tax plan — on the same day that it laid off thousands after closing more than 60 Sam’s Club locations.

Western Union fined $586 million for colluding with organized crime / Boing Boing
▻http://boingboing.net/2017/01/23/western-union-fined-586-milli.html

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Western_Union_logo.svg/800px-Western_Union_logo.svg.png

Forbes article:

In a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission on Thursday, authorities describe insufficient or poorly enforced policies that resulted in the funneling of hundreds of millions of dollars in proceeds from illegal gambling, fraud and drug and human trafficking.

...

In one case, illegal immigrants from China sent money back to the people who smuggled them across the border. With the help of employees, the payments were structured so that they didn’t trigger reporting requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act, say authorities.

In another example, Western Union processed hundreds of thousands of transactions for an international scam, wherein fraudsters directed people to send money in order to claim a prize or help a relative. Western Union employees often processed the payments in return for a cut of the proceeds, say authorities.

From CFO:

Wifredo A. Ferrer, the U.S. Attorney in Miami, said the misconduct reflected “a flawed corporate culture that failed to provide a checks and balances approach to combat criminal practices.”

“Western Union’s failure to implement proper controls and discipline agents that violated compliances policies enabled the proliferation of illegal gambling, money laundering and fraud-related schemes,” he added.

Leoni, one of Europe’s biggest electric cable manufacturer lost 40 million EUR through a phishing scam

The incident took place August 12th 2016, in the city of Bistria, northern Romania.

It seems that a young woman working as CFO at Leoni’s Bistrita factory was the target of the scam, when she received an email spoofed to look like it came from one of the company’s top German executives.

The attackers seem to have studied the company first, because the email seems to have been crafted in such a way to take into account Leoni’s internal procedures for approving and transferring funds.

The attack Leoni suffered is known under different names, such as a whaling attack, a BEC (Business Email Compromise), or CEO fraud.
