Can a corporate CFO serve as the treasurer?

Yes, a corporate CFO can serve as the treasurer, particularly in smaller organizations where roles may overlap due to limited resources. However, in larger corporations, these positions are typically distinct to ensure proper checks and balances, with the treasurer focusing on managing the company’s finances, investments, and risk management, while the CFO oversees broader financial strategy and reporting. The decision often depends on the company's size, structure, and regulatory requirements.
