"Among survey respondents with an established business partner model in place, 48 percent report EBITDA growth increases of more than 5 percent in their company over the past year, compared with just 22 percent of those that have not yet adopted this approach," Ernst & Young said in a report on its survey. Two other key data points suggest that business operations improve when supply chain managers and CFOs work together:

"83% of finance business partners and 87% of supply chain business partners agree that data and analytics present CFOs with an unprecedented opportunity to drive a more collaborative, business partnering relationship with the supply chain."

"26% of business partnering CFOs and 24% of business partnering supply chain executives see improving organizational design to aid tax effectiveness as one of the top three opportunities for the CFO to play a greater role in the supply chain."

Ernst & Young interviewed 423 CFOs and heads of supply chains at technology, automotive, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and other companies.

According to the report, "70% of CFOs and 63% of supply chain leaders say that their relationship has become more collaborative over the past three years."
