WELCOME NOTE

With the shockwave coming from Covid-19 pandemic last year, CFOs were undoubtedly pushed into uncharted territory, prompting them to rethink their business imperatives and their new role in leading their organizations to be agile and respond quickly amidst the global disruption.

In a bid to heal, rebuild and resume the economy upward, Philippine President Duterte has signed a 4.5 trillion pesos (US$93.7 billion) budget for 2021, a tenth greater than that of 2020. The Philippines’ 2021 budget will focus on resuming economic growth such as infrastructure projects, education, public works, health sector spending, and funding the purchase of millions of doses of CoViD-19 vaccines.

Although the arrival of CoVid-19 vaccines may improve CFOs’ optimism, it is uncertain how this development will affect business profitability, liquidity and risk appetite this year ahead.

The unprecedented crisis in 2020 taught businesses to embrace digitalization as a vital part of their survival strategy. The COVID-19 economy has accelerated and amplified the need for digital transformation with CFOs instrumental in this digitalization process.

Amidst today’s uncertain global market outlook and heightened need of embracing digitalization, what is the changing role of CFO in driving digital transformation initiatives to ensure survival during volatile times? How exactly should CFOs in the Philippines reevaluate their goals and keep their businesses afloat in the current chaotic business terrain?

Taking place on 11 March 2021 between 9 am to 12 pm PHT, the FutureCFO vSummit will gather over 150 senior finance professionals from multiple industries in the Philippines. This virtual event aims to address the latest macroeconomic and tax changes, business risks and opportunities, CFO’s top recovery plans for what comes next and strategies to resume growth in the Philippines. It will also explore emerging technologies that finance leaders in the Philippines need to adopt to stay resilient, create value and drive successful digital transformation in a time of crisis such as advanced data analytics, cloud-based ERP, RPA, AI and ML.
