Unfortunately, evidence seems to indicate that most CFO's (and CIO's, 
who should really know better) in the world fall in the opposite 
category... otherwise iSeries would be the predominant system and 
Windows would just be a toy (not to say that Windows isn't a toy).

p.s. I would argue that CFO's should not be making IT security decisions 
 ... they should set criteria, and the CIO should make the decisions to 
satisfy the criteria.
