As organisations resurface from the Covid recession, CFOs are again under pressure to shape the recovery path and deal with a complex set of challenges. Impairments and reduced risk-bearing capacity across regulated industries requires re-building of capital, while asset price volatility and compressed profit margins require focus on cost reduction.
Investors and board members are demanding sustained double-digit return-on-equity, stable credit ratings and increased transparency on risks to maximise shareholder value. At the same time, regulators are requesting more real-time scrutiny on organisations’ operations and disclosures, with a wave of new measures planned in 2022 including increased focus on ESG.
To compound the challenges further, business lines are demanding improved actionable analytics and immediate insights and customers are requesting a more personalised self-serve experience enabled through digital platforms and assets. As the ‘war on talent’ continues, the challenge of finding and retaining skilled professionals and adopting new ways of working has become a reality across the market.
Data and analytics transformation offers an array of opportunities for CFOs to address these challenges and deliver more with less. However, it can be difficult to know where to start, how to build momentum and deliver success.
Join us at this CFO round table as we bring together finance leaders from different industries and data experts to discuss these challenges and learn how latest tools and solutions can help the office of the finance to evolve and rise up to be able to meet the new reality of todays business.
