Answer: AExplanation: Since the CFO is affected by your project, that means he's a stakeholder. The best thing you can do in this situation is get the new stakeholder's opinion incorporated in the project up front. It's important that all of the project stakeholders understand the needs and objectives that the project is meant to address. The worst case is to have the stakeholder's opinion incorporated at the end of the project -- that could mean a lot of re-work or even an entirely unacceptable product.
