Report: Top 10 Paid CFOs NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2002 CFO.com, the online arm of CFO magazine, and Mercer Human Resource Consulting Group of New York City, New York, released their annual "CFO Compensation Special Report," a survey based on analysis of 350 finance executives at the largest public companies. The Special Report highlights that CFOs total earnings have slowed considerably in the past year, due in part to the reduction in stock option value and other non-cash incentives.
Median total direct compensation (TDC) for finance chiefs last year was a cool $961,000, according to the survey.
