Breaking Free: How CFOs are Transforming the CFO Office with Autonomous Finance

ABOUT THIS EVENT

In many organisations in Malaysia and Singapore, Excel-driven consolidation and legacy planning tools create the same pain points: manual rework, intercompany mismatches, higher audit effort, and audit-readiness gaps that delay sign-off.

FutureCFO, in partnership with Lucanet, will host a webinar that will explain what modern finance technology must deliver and show—through live demonstrations—how the finance leaders in Malaysia and Singapore can replace spreadsheets and centralized legacy workflows by bringing together Consolidation, Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A), and Disclosure Management in one finance-first, to AI-native approach.

Be part of this webinar and expect an honest discussion of common gaps in traditional vendor offerings, including what it takes to:

Identity processes that can be improved to achieve a realistic close timeline without Excel workarounds for multi-subsidiary groups
Reduce intercompany misstating risk under jurisdictional requirements (including different fiscal year-end realities)
Maintain control and auditability for AI-enabled finance through explainability, governance, confidence scoring, and audit trails
Drive adoption with Excel-native finance managers via practical change management
