Corporate finance and IT departments have become ever more closely intertwined.

企业财务部门和IT部门之间的联系日益紧密。

Chief financial officers (CFOs) need IT tools to monitor and run the finance function, ensure data are secure, and help them in their role as strategic advisers. IT needs the CFO to sign off budgets, pay the bills and help sponsor initiatives for business development.

首席财务官需要应用IT工具来监督和运行财务职能，保障数据安全，并帮助他们当好公司战略顾问这个角色。IT部门则需要首席财务官批准预算，支付各种费用，为企业发展举措提供资金。

Mike McKeon, finance director of Severn Trent Water, the UK utility, says: “Good IT investments can make an organisation, while poor investments can break it. As CFO, I am interested in taking the business forward to success and to do that the CIO and I need to work together ... Separately, we will fail.

英国公用事业企业Severn Trent Water首席财务官迈克·麦基翁(Mike McKeon)表示：“好的IT投资可以成就一家企业，而糟糕的IT投资可以毁掉一家企业。作为首席财务官，我有志于推动企业走向成功，与首席信息官进行必要的合作……如果不合作，我们都会失败。

Myron Hrycyk, Severn Trent chief information officer (CIO), echoes the sentiment.

Severn Trent Water首席信息官迈伦·赫利西科(Myron Hrycyk)赞同这种说法。
