Find out how Finance Leaders are leading the digital transformation of Finance
Hear from AFP, KPMG, and T&S Brass Finance Leaders.
Latest evidence shows finance leaders know the finance function needs radical transformation to survive. Leaders know they must move from scorekeeper to performance driver by leveraging the transformative value of data and technology.
In reaction to an increasingly digitalized world, finance activities in all industries have evolved and changed. The ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, as well as the rise of remote working, has accelerated this shift, underlining the importance of new skill sets for accounting and financial professionals seeking advancement. Finance teams use technology heavily in areas like journal processing, reconciliations, and common help-desk inquiries, and it may improve productivity in month-end or quarter-end closings and other related activities.
Artificial intelligence and data analytics have opened up several doors for businesses to increase productivity, get more insight, and give more value.
