Summoned to a Q&A session with boss - What would you ask?

[simontrent]

Some colleagues and I have been invited to a Q&A session with the group CFO. Usually I can come up with some creative questions but for some reason I appear to be struggling. In the current environment it would appear to be a witch-hunt before a round of cost redutions.

The company is a large US public company and he is the current CFO.

Every question I've come up with has a potential to come over wrong e.g. Strategy with finance back office moves to low cost countries; have we bottomed out on the market contracting etc.

You guys are usually come up with something inspired. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
