CFO2217. CFO Roundtable: What's Keeping CFOs Up at Night?

In 2021, AICPA & CIMA formed a Future of Finance Group. They were charged with how to transform the profession in its broadest context and re-imagine the finance function of the future. In this candid panel discussion with members of the CFO Conference Planning Committee we will discuss the key findings from the Future of Finance Group, how these issues are keeping our panel awake at night and what they are doing to take advantage of these issues and opportunities.

The fast changing business landscape has shifted the focus of finance from a rearview mirror role to a windshield view helping the business navigate in a VUCA world. The shift is from cost and historical information to value and forecasting the future. Are we the chief value officers’ of the future? This session will cover the key take aways from the Future of Finance initiative and key items of the panel’s strategic agenda.


Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the top post pandemic issues, including accelerating digital transformation, talent and value creation
  • Recognize what this means to the changing role and mandate of finance & accounting
  • Determine how we together need to re-invent the role of the CFO
