This is of great interest to both the professional community and practitioners.

About the Work
The development of the finance function and specifically the role of controllers has attracted significant attention in both academic and practice-oriented literature. This is primarily due to the fact that the finance function is a social and organizational practice influenced by individual, organizational, or societal factors. Consequently, the development of the finance function in organizational reality is heterogeneous and dynamic. Against this backdrop, the aim of this book is to provide an overview of the various influencing factors on the design and change of the controller role and, based on that, to outline a possible future for controllers.
