Roll of Honour- CFO Special

Methodology

To compile the CFO rankings, DSIJ examined the performances of companies listed on the BSE and the NSE across market capitalisation. The financial performance was examined over 12 months ended March, 2020. DSIJ evaluated the financial chiefs on seven financial metrics. Greatest weightage was given to the increase in market capitalisation, followed by growth in sales, operating profit and net profit. Improvement in Return on equity and Return on capital employed were also considered for the ranking purpose. Total asset size was also given consideration. For the purpose of ranking, the best performing CFOs in seven major sectors were considered, along with creating one special category for women CFOs and one category for best returns.
