FIN2304. Riding the Waves of Transformation-- insights and actions from Future of Finance Project

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. This group created a vision for the CFO of the future that includes a shift from a rearview mirror view to a windshield view and a mandate to become a valued partner to the business with strategic foresight, and coined the term, Chief Future Officer. In this interactive session, Barry Payne and Tom Hood, will be presenting the key insights from the Future of Finance Group.
