About the test

The CFO test assesses the ability to assume primary responsibility for managing an organization’s finances through a series of numerical calculation and multiple-choice questions using real-world scenarios and excerpts of financial reports.

The assessment includes solving work-sample tasks, such as:

  • Creating budgets and financial statements based on actual and expected figures.
  • Evaluating the viability, stability, and profitability of a business or project.
  • Analyze how government policies will affect the market economy in which a business operates.

A good chief financial officer, treasurer, or financial director all need a solid understanding of business math, financial statements and reports, financial analysis, and economics to responsibly oversee the accounting and finance activities of an entire organization.

Expense Reports

As a manager, it is your responsibility to review the quarterly expense reports submitted by members of your team. Each member of the team is allowed to expense $20,000 annually for work-related travel expenses.

It is now the halfway point in the year, and you need to review the travel expenses claimed so far:

Employee First-Half
Trips
(Actual)
First-Half
Expenses
(Actual)
Second-Half
Trips
(Planned)
Angel 5 $11,100 4
Breanna 3 $13,500 2
Cillian 4 $11,600 2
Davor 6 $12,000 3
Erik 4 $11,000 5

If each employee's costs continue at their current rate, which employees, if any, will go over budget with their travel expenses in the second half of the year?
