EVENT OVERVIEW

In 2025, the landscape for CFOs and finance leaders in Asia is increasingly complex, with growth remaining a top priority amidst evolving challenges. According to Alexander Bant, chief of research in the Gartner Finance Practice, “CFOs and CEOs are united in their focus on profitable growth, with nearly two-thirds identifying it as a key strategic priority.” Following this, technology and workforce management emerge as crucial areas of concern.

However, the role of modern CFOs extends beyond fostering organisational growth and optimising costs. They must adeptly navigate a landscape filled with uncertainties, balancing the pursuit of growth with effective risk management. As pivotal players in risk mitigation, CFOs are expected to formulate robust plans to tackle potential crises such as:

Constrained access to capital and investment challenges
Cybersecurity threats and data breaches
Economic headwinds and inflationary pressures
Evolving regulatory landscapes
Market volatility and shifting consumer behaviours
Talent shortages in a competitive labour market

Also, a Gartner survey highlights that 62% of CFOs and 58% of CEOs believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) will significantly reshape their sectors in the coming years. As CFOs increasingly integrate AI into financial operations, they must also address the accompanying challenges and ethical implications of emerging technologies.

The 5^th FutureCFO Philippines Conference 2025, themed “Pathways towards Differentiated Success,” will serve as a vital platform for finance leaders to explore strategies that ensure steady margins while effectively managing risks. Attendees can expect insights from seasoned industry experts on critical topics, including:

Aligning organisational priorities amid competing demands
Enhancing the role of finance leaders as strategic partners
Harnessing emerging technologies to shape the future of finance
Implementing forward-looking risk management strategies
Leveraging digital finance transformation and process automation
Navigating the next phase of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives

This conference will equip CFOs with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing environment, ensuring they can balance the dual imperatives of growth and risk management.
