CAS Core CVO II by AICPA & CIMA — 9 CPE Credits
Master strategic risk, scenario planning, stakeholder management & ethical decision-making
The CAS Core CVO II (Chief Value Officer II) is an intermediate-level, self-paced online program developed by AICPA & CIMA that equips finance leaders with the skills to align organizational resources with new strategic directions — and to manage the risks, stakeholder dynamics, and moral challenges that come with executing strategy in the real world.
Where CVO I teaches you how to build a strategic vision, CVO II teaches you how to execute it — how to plan for uncertainty, manage the people and politics around strategic change, make ethical calls under pressure, and prevent your organization from drifting off course.
💡 Recommended background: CVO I is listed as a prerequisite by AICPA. However, if you already hold a senior finance role and have experience with strategic-level planning and stakeholder management, you may be well-positioned to enrol directly. CVO I provides the strongest foundation.
Why CVO II Exists: The Gap Between Strategy and Execution
Most strategies fail not because the vision was wrong, but because execution fell apart. Research regularly shows that the majority of large-scale strategic projects underperform or fail during implementation. The reasons are almost always the same: underestimated risk, mismanaged stakeholders, failure to anticipate change resistance, and ethical blind spots.
CVO II is AICPA’s purpose-built program to close that gap. It builds on the strategic foundations from CVO I and adds the execution layer — risk strategy, scenario planning, stakeholder mapping, change management, and ethical supervision — that determines whether a strategy actually delivers results.
What You’ll Learn (AICPA Curriculum)
The CVO II program covers six key topic areas from the AICPA syllabus:
Strategic Planning & Management
- The formal approach and process of strategic management
- Different approaches to strategy formulation
- Strategy implementation — how it fits into the overall strategic management process
- aligning structural structures and resources with new strategic directions
-
The role of management in strategic decision-making
Risk Strategies
- Analyzing risks associated with formulating strategy
- Determining risk mitigation strategies
- Understanding strategic risk vs. operational risk
Scenario Planning & Decision Tools
- Applying forecasting in strategic decision-making and planning
- Determining strategic options using decision trees
- Applying scenario planning to model multiple futures and prepare for uncertainty
Stakeholder Management
- Building and managing strategic relationships using Mendelow’s Matrix
- Mapping stakeholders by power and interest to determine engagement strategy
- The outcome-focused process of managing diverse stakeholder expectations
Ethical Decision-Making
- Determining ethical issues and their impact on strategic decisions
- Integrating ethics into the strategy process — not as an afterthought but as a framework
Change Strategies
- Determining the context for change and evaluating triggers for organizational change
- Understanding different types of change
- Recognizing and preventing strategic drift — the gradual misalignment between an organization’s strategy and its environment
Learning Outcomes
After completing this program, you will be able to:
- Identify how the strategy implementation phase fits into the overall strategic management process, and how to align organizational structures and resources with new strategic directions
- Analyze the risks associated with formulating strategy and determine risk mitigation approaches
- Analyze the formal approach and process of strategic management, and different approaches to strategy formulation
-
Apply the role of management in strategic decision-making
- Apply forecasting in strategic decision-making and planning
- Determine strategic options based on the use of decision trees
- Apply scenario planning in strategic decision-making and planning
- Determine ethical issues and the impact on strategic decision-making,, and how to build and manage strategic relationships using Mendelow’s Matrix
- Determine the context for change and evaluate triggers for organizational change, and the different types of change and the risk of strategic drift
Is This Course Right For You?
This course is ideal if you are:
- A CFO, VP Finance, or finance director who is responsible for executing strategy — not just advising on it
- A controller or senior manager moving into a role where you need to manage stakeholders, navigate risk, and lead change
- A CAS professional advising clients on strategy implementation, risk mitigation, and governance
- A board member or aspiring board advisor who needs fluency in stakeholder management, ethical administration, and strategic risk
Ask yourself:
- ✅ Have you ever seen a good strategy fail because of poor execution, resistance to change, or stakeholder misalignment?
- ✅ Do you need to present risk-adjusted strategic choices to a board or leadership team?
- ✅ Are you responsible for managing organizational change — restructuring, M&A integration, digital transformation?
- ✅ Do ethical aspects factor into your strategic decisions — and do you have a framework for guiding them?
If you answered yes to any of these, CVO II gives you the structured tools to handle what most finance leaders navigate by instinct alone.
Your Return on Investment: The Cost of Getting Strategy Wrong
The ROI on this course isn’t hypothetical. It’s the value of the mistakes you won’t make.
Consider what happens when strategy execution fails:
- A poorly managed acquisition that destroys shareholder value because stakeholders weren’t mapped and aligned
- A digital transformation that stalls because change resistance wasn’t anticipated or addressed
- A market expansion that collapses because scenario planning was never done — and the downside wasn’t modelled
- A reputational crisis triggered by ethical lapses in strategic decision-making
These aren’t rare events. They are the norm. Studies show that roughly 70% of large-scale strategic transformations underperform or fail during execution. The cost isn’t just financial — it’s careers, market status,, and organizational trust.
This course teaches you the frameworks which prevent those failures:
| Framework | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|
Mendelow’s Matrix
|
Maps stakeholders by power and interest to prioritize engagement | Prevents the #1 execution failure — losing key stakeholder support |
|
Scenario Planning
|
Models multiple futures to stress-test strategic options |
86% of CFOs say their strategic decision-making speed has increased through scenario planning
|
|
Decision Trees
|
Quantifies choices under uncertainty with probability-weighted outcomes | Replaces gut instinct with structured, defensible analysis |
|
Strategic Drift Detection
|
Identifies when an organization is gradually misaligning with its environment |
Prevents the slow decline that kills more companies than sudden crises
|
|
Ethical Decision Framework
|
Integrates ethics into strategy — not as compliance but as governance |
Ethical leadership is now a strategic advantage, not just a moral one
|
A single avoided strategic mistake — one bad acquisition not pursued, one change initiative properly managed, one risk accurately modelled — can save your organization millions. The cost of this course is a rounding error against that return.
How This Makes You Visible to Boards and Recruiters
At the CVO II level, you’re not competing for controller roles. You’re competing for board seats, CFO appointments, and strategic advisory mandates. The search criteria change completely.
When boards and executive recruiters search for senior finance leaders, they look for evidence of strategic execution capability:
("CFO" OR "Chief Value Officer" OR "Finance Director") AND ("strategic planning" OR "risk management" OR "change management" OR "stakeholder management") AND ("AICPA" OR "CGMA")
The CVO II course adds precisely these signals to your professional profile:
- ✅ Skills: Strategic planning, risk strategy, scenario planning, stakeholder management, change management, ethical governance
- ✅ Certifications: AICPA CAS CVO II (listed in LinkedIn’s Licenses & Certifications)
- ✅ Digital Badge: A verified AICPA credential via Credly — signalling you don’t just understand strategy, you can execute it
91% of HR leaders actively look for digital credentials when reviewing candidates. At the C-suite and board level, in which every appointment carries organizational risk, a verified AICPA badge provides the trust signal that a resume alone cannot.
