Because : - CEOs & CFOs can have significant impacts throughout the entire business, & the type of reward plan will encourage the CFOs to work in a more rational manner.

Explanation:

CEOs & CFOs are a part of upper level of management of an organisation. Effectiveness & Efficiency of their managerial skills is very crucial to management of company. So, to encourage proper management of companies by senior managers, they can be incentivised by mix of fixed & variable salary structure. The variable component of salary as per company performance under CEO or CFO, positively motivates them to improvise their performance, which subsequently improves company performance.
