AGENDA

09:05

PANEL DISCUSSION I: Continuing the Pace of Change: Unlocking Growth Opportunities and Tackling Challenges in 2023

The confluence of rising inflation and interest rate, tensions in geopolitical, regulatory changes, energy security, foreign exchange volatility, supply chain disruptions as well as climate change risk had reshaped CFO’s responsibilities in magnitudes. With things are changing rapidly locally and globally, exacerbated by slowing growth, planning for 2023 is certainly not an easy task for finance leaders in Indonesia. CFOs are required to be agile and flexible to capture new opportunities especially with the potential shrinking in customer demands as the world is likely or already in recession.

KEYNOTE I: Moving beyond Automation and into Autonomous Finance

Finance functions want to close faster, cheaper and with fewer errors. According to a recent Gartner survey, 55% of finance functions aim for a touchless close by 2025.

The pandemic, including social and operational restrictions it imposed, rising needs of the stakeholders and macro-economic pressures are creating impetus for a touchless close. However, to achieve a touchless close, it will require finance leaders and controllers to move beyond automation and into autonomous finance.

Shifting from process automation to intelligent automation
Autonomous finance for augmented real-time insights, effortless compliance and greater flexibility in financial strategy
Narrowing the financial close and aiming to make it touch-less
Accelerating back-and-middle-office finance operations to ensure digital maturity
Operationalising AI to move an autonomous, touchless financial close

PANEL DISCUSSION II: Digital Transformation and Reality Gap: What’s Next Post Digitalisation?

Digital transformation has saved many businesses when the pandemic struck. However, in reality, almost no organisation has finished their digitalisation journey. While most organisations are now more digitally mature and they are in the better position to thrive in the post-pandemic era, what businesses are asking for constantly evolves.

Advancing digitalisation initiatives vs. traditional work environments
Capitalising on digitalisation investment to stay resilient, flexible and efficient amidst escalating costs
Keeping up with digital acceleration while ensuring employee’s continuous engagement

KEYNOTE II: Driving Organisational Speed and Agility with Self-Service Data and Analytics

A Gartner survey reveals that companies that invest in productivity and efficiency to fight inflation will outperform those who just increase prices. Instead of just passing on inflationary costs to customers, improving efficiency, productivity and quick data-driven decision making is a better bet for the business’s long-term competitive advantage.

FIRESIDE CHAT II: FinOps for CFOs: Taking Control of Cloud Costs

When the pandemic hit, organisations pushed themselves to rapidly modernise their applications and platforms and in the pursuit of cost savings, many aimed to become ‘cloud-first’ enterprises. However, as businesses squaring up this year, organisations may overspend on their cloud technology and struggle to keep the cloud costs under control. This session will delve into FinOps or cloud financial operations, an approach that let organisations realise the maximum business value from using the cloud by making data-driven spending decisions.

PANEL DISCUSSION IV: Ensuring Financial Resiliency in the Face of a Potential Economic Downturn

Pritika Bhattacharjee, Vice President, Research in the Gartner Finance Practice says: “CFOs are telling their FP&A leaders that they need to improve flexibility of budgeting and forecasting, enable faster capital reallocation, and updated financial models to reflect rapidly changing business realities”.

With economic activity slowing down, optimising sales is often a challenge for many businesses. As businesses enter into low-growth and high-cost setting, securing collections has become difficult and cash flows get increasingly difficult to predict.

Creating more agile, scalable and flexible FP&A
Optimising business decisions and cash flows with AI/ML-driven scenario planning

EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW: Fighting Fraud from the CFO’s Seat

According to a report by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, organisations lose an estimated of 5% revenue due to fraud every year and 12% typical fraud cases occurred in the finance function or accounting department.

The permanence of hybrid work model and growing use of cloud have increased the occurrence and severity of fraudulent activities, thus added a new dimension to CFO’s overall risk and fraud management strategy within their organisation and possibly in their finance department as well.
