About the Conference

​

Today’s Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are increasingly expected to take on new roles and challenges beyond managing their company’s finances and strategies. CFOs have become pivotal in decision-making processes, offering critical financial insights to steer the strategic direction of their companies. As McKinsey recently highlighted, “CFOs have unprecedented opportunities to assume leadership roles—collaborating with C-suite colleagues, line managers, investors, and boards—to concentrate on performance and capabilities, not just the numbers.”
 

The CFO is now the CEO’s strategic ally in driving value creation. Concurrently, the CFO must also inspire and lead a high-performance financial team.
 

This two-day, high-level conference will delve into the following meticulously researched topics:
 

  • The evolving and expanding responsibilities of CFOs and Finance Directors in a rapidly changing, complex, and volatile business environment.

  • The CFO’s contribution to driving corporate growth.

  • Anticipating the unexpected – crafting more dependable budgets and forecasts amidst rapidly shifting scenarios and intense competition.

  • Creating a nimble and adaptable finance department.

  • Cultivating and managing a dynamic, high-performing finance team.

  • Leading in human-centric organisations while exemplifying work-life balance.

  • Enhancing decision-making in capital allocation and investment planning.

  • The CFO’s partnership with the CEO.

  • Progressing to CEO and other advanced leadership positions.
