Where Financial Decision Making Happens For An Autonomous Future

22nd Sept, 2022 | ITC Grand Central, Mumbai

Overview

Businesses across the world are experiencing dynamic changes in the way they operate,innovate, communicate and invest. And, during these transformational times, the Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are playing a significant role in striking pivotal balance between new initiatives and financial decision making, a role that supports the Chief Executive Officers in their decision making process. Focusing on CFOs and their role in an organisation, which is much beyond the finance function but a strong pillar of ensuring resilience and continuity, today, FinancialExpress.com brings to you the first edition of FE CFO Connect Conclave 2022. This platform will underline the inter-departmental function of CFOs as finance leaders, that is contributing to operational efficiency with relevant disruptive tech-innovations for organisations.
