The Finance Think Tank Singapore 2026
ABOUT THIS EVENT
By 2027, Singapore CFOs face a sharper mandate: scale agentic AI (governed, context-aware agents that act inside finance workflows), rebuild talent and culture around digital capability, deliver efficient growth under volatility, and satisfy tightening local requirements.
To address this challenge, a single, unified platform that integrates financial management, adaptive planning, procurement, and workforce data. Within this environment, AI agents operate natively under existing security controls, audit trails, permission hierarchies, and business rules (revenue recognition, multi‑entity close, cost allocation, approval workflows). This ensures intelligence is embedded without introducing bolted‑on LLMs or expanding the risk surface, delivering resilience and compliance by design.
The Finance Think Tank 2026 sets out to confront the three barriers facing CFOs, the finance teams they lead, and the organisation they support face—fragmented data, manual work that crowds out strategy, and lack of trust in controls.
This by-invitation-only event will gather a select of 25 senior finance leaders from in Singapore to identify where AI can deliver the greatest impact in their organisations and reimagine enterprise workflows into the AI‑powered future.
Who should attend?
- CFO, Head of Finance
- Finance decision makers
- Senior Manager and above
