The role of the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO“) has changed substantially over the last decade and there is a sense of renewed value emerging for the finance function.

 

So how did the role of the CFO ascend from that of an accountant to becoming the CEO’s business partner, most trusted adviser and multi-discipline strategist? Prior to the early noughties, the CFO performed a traditional finance role, responsible mainly for reporting the numbers, measuring performance with integrity and accuracy, and managing a firm’s checks-and-balances process. But as we now move into the 2020s, the role of the CFO is no longer about performing the once-traditional finance role.

 

This session we will hear from Valerie Mantot-Groene (APEX, Regional MD for APAC) to discuss what the implications are for the past, present and future of the CFO role, specifically as it relates to Funds management businesses. The presentation will be followed by a moderated panel session to discuss the role of the CFO and where they see it evolving.
