Business and Industry Roundtable: Riding the Waves of Transformation – Insights from AICPA & CIMA’s Future of Finance Group (FREE)

AICPA & CIMA recently formed a Future of Finance Group. This group, made up of CFO’s and leaders from a range of companies from Fortune 100 to mid-market, is charged with transforming the profession in its broadest context and re-imagining the finance function of the future. Barry Payne will present the key priorities of the group. 

The starting point for many is to generally address the cost effectiveness of our finance teams by using digital tools so more time can be spent on value creating activities through the use of greater analytics and become strategic partners to the business.Whilst the focus starts with this technology the key is to then develop capability, skills and mindsets to maximize the change. In fact, 90% of CFOs say that their teams lack the skills needed for this new environment in which we find ourselves. This creates a role stretch and a growing talent-performance gap. 

Hear about the top trends and issues on the minds of finance leaders and how these translate into the top skills, competencies and mindsets required. Through dialogue and innovative electronic polling you will come away with some ideas on how to develop your talent to meet your changing business needs.
