From Legacy to Leadership: Embrace AI for Agile Financial Operations
ABOUT THIS EVENT
A quiet revolution is underway in Malaysia’s finance function — and you’re at the helm.
According to IDC, 74% of Malaysian businesses have already begun automating financial systems — the highest rate in ASEAN. Most started with payroll, AP, and AR. But now, the next frontier is here: Agentic AI.
Imagine AI that doesn’t just automate — but reasons. AI that predicts cash flow gaps before they occur. Draft BNM-compliant reports. Flags audit anomalies across millions of transactions. Recommends CapEx scenarios with narrative risk analysis. Acts not as a tool — but as your strategic co-worker.
But with great power comes great responsibility. As IDC notes, your #1 pain point is keeping pace with shifting strategic priorities from leadership. And as regulators like BNM prepare new AI governance frameworks, the question isn’t if you’ll deploy agentic AI — it’s how you’ll do it without breaking the rules… or trust.
Join your peers for an intimate, off-the-record roundtable where we’ll tackle the real issues keeping Malaysian CFOs awake at night — and map the path to intelligent, accountable, value-driven finance.
Why attend:
- Hear early lessons from Malaysian firms already piloting agentic AI
- Walk away with a practical roadmap for responsible, high-value AI adoption
- Network with CFOs navigating the same transformation — in confidence
Critical topics to explore:
- From AP automation to autonomous agents: What’s the next step for Malaysian finance?
- Building trust in AI-driven decisions: Governance, audit trails & human-in-the-loop design
- Data readiness is non-negotiable: Cleaning house before you invite AI in
- CFO + C-Suite = Malaysia’s new power couple: Aligning tech, talent & transformation
- Upskilling, not replacing: Turning your team into AI co-pilots (not casualties)
CFOs who effectively adopt agentic AI will transform their finance functions from reactive scorekeepers to forward-looking strategists, driving operational efficiency, innovation, and compliance.
We look forward to your participation in shaping the future of finance leadership in Malaysia.
Who should attend?
- CFOs, CIOs, VPs, Directors and heads of Finance (Directors and above)
- Heads of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
