As a follow-up to that report, the CFO has asked you to coordinate with the financial leadership team to develop a briefing on the risks and challenges that may impact corporate value and decision-making. This report will examine both internal and external risks and challenges to the company. Your report will be extremely useful for the effective management of the company.
