Mots-Cles: CFO, gouvernance de la societe, societes cotees Modern corporate governance centers around financial governance, and its goal, to a large extent, is achieved through such kind of governance. As the person of the highest level responsible for the corporate's finance, CFO plays a very important part in the governance. Seen from the traditional financial role of CFO, he or she controls the accounting of the company and its organization as well as the cash and long term investment, thus he or she is the one who could coordinate the company's financial resources.3 Seen from the responsibilities in the corporate governance system, CFO has undertaken the responsibilities concerning managing, law, governance, morality, management, and the responsibilities internally entrusted to the share holders and those externally to the board.4 With the global development, CFO will function as a manager of strategic plans, resources, achievement evaluation, flow system and controlling,5 which is extremely important to elevate the value of share holders and to fulfill the corporate's target.6 Nowadays, the corporate governance structure in our country is not perfect: the ownership structure of the share is not reasonable, the biggest share holder dominates the stock market, the board's governance efficiency is insufficient, governance committee exists only in a nominal sense, external surveillance mechanism is not sound, all of which are sure to influence the role of CFO, hence his or her display of this role in the corporate.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
