I don't get it. I work for a biggish company. Every time a user wants to join my Miro team I have to use a maze of ancient purchase order systems like Sage with multiple levels of approvals from our finance team. It's almost outrageously draconian but... not a penny goes by unpinched.
I’ll give you good odds that if you ever talk to the CFO about the transactions they personally sign off on, it’s a lot of emails and spreadsheets passed around. Processes are there for the little people, the big ones are chefsache. I also know what the biggest risk are. Not the automated stuff, not the very big M&A stuff, it’s the not yet automated routine combined payment order that is boring but rests on a few insiders to keep working. Insiders are very much in demand for these cons. The voice of the CEO is nothing, you need the proper tone, the proper pomp and circumstance.
