Not for know. I'm a student at an Italian university and my professor asked me for a brief work on the subject. I'm just looking for some information.

The role varies depending on the size of the Company but in a small Company probably along the lines of: Preparation and monitoring of Budgets Management and annual accounts Management of income and expenditure PAYE and payroll VAT registration and returns Insurance and Pensions

In a large Company they would be responsible for managing the team who were doing the above but still responsible for financial performance, financial compliance, reporting etc.

The financial controller supervises accounting and financial reporting within an organization. They may be expected to:

i) Manage the Finance function to ensure accurate management of all financial data and that accounts are produced consistently within company policies and timetables

ii) Report into the General Manager and work alongside Area Financial Controllers to deliver commercial business objectives and financial targets

iii) Be responsible for the efficient running of the Accounts Department, as well as Purchasing and IT within the property.

All that could be achieved through review, evaluation, planning and instigating of appropriate action for the company to achieve its sales, costs and profitability targets.

(Would that be too brief enough for your professor?)
