DESCRIPTION

Today’s businesses face rapid economic, technological and social changes. CFOs need to provide decision support that will help their organizations outmaneuver competition whilst managing risk, volatility and uncertainty. The pace of risk and the degree of risk is unparalleled and will only increase and this creates tremendous opportunities for organizations. Ash will share what the American Institute of CPAs and their Joint Venture partners the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants are hearing from Finance Leaders around the world as to how the Finance is evolving and how the CFOs of the future are preparing themselves and their teams – not just to navigate but to actually help steer their organizations to create sustainable value.
