Sarbanes Oxley and other regulations have meant that CFOs just don't have enough hours in the day to keep up, says Peter McLean, vice chairman of recruiting firm Spencer Stuart.

Some companies that have long had CFOs are now creating compliance positions including roles for a financial controller, the Wall Street Journal reported.

McLean says that the search for corporate controller positions had jumped nearly 40% on last years' figures.

'These positions add a level of expertise to the compliance role, and it frees up the chief financial officer to tackle the jobs that they are really expert at, such as the financial analysis involved in the business operations,' McLean said.
