high-level networking
While growth is still the name of the game in Asia, the road to prosperity
is getting steeper and more difficult as new forces come into play. As the
economy slowdown leaves less capital to go around, finance leaders must
show greater strategic prowess to ensure success. At the same time, new
disruptive forces put pressure on the organisation to reinvent models and
keep up with the times. In this complex environment, the modern CFO’s
role continues to evolve, as back office duties are outsourced to give more
freedom for finance to be a true creator of value. To ensure strong value-
adding capability, the finance leader must develop exceptional talent to help
drive a strong agenda for the organisation. While playing a key part in strategy
formulation and driving innovation as true business partners, CFOs must also
master their fundamental responsibilities. Protecting and preserving the assets
of the organisation, effectively managing risk, and ensuring compliance with
regulatory change cannot take a back seat as the finance role continues to
evolve in an ever-changing world.
