CFO Innovation Australia Forum 2018

While the threat of a trade war lurks ominously, global economic conditions remained strong in Australia, with GDP expected to be 3.8% for 2018. Most importantly, this growth is widespread across most markets and Australia’s economy is expected to sustain its 29-year recession-free track record out to 2020, owing to strong consumer spending, increased non-mining business investment, and government expenditure. However, a potential slowdown in jobs growth, rising household debt, and weak exports could pose challenges.

At CFO Innovation Australia Forum 2018, finance leaders across leading industries will cover these trends extensively and provide key learning to capitalize on new business opportunities. As the CFO’s role is broadening to drive business change, finance leaders are now leading the agenda of deeply embedding data driven organizational culture and harnessing the demand for agility and accuracy across the organisation. But in practice, how can digitization beneficially redefine the traditional finance function? How can automation initiatives and data analytics further empower decision making processes? How to achieve effective finance transformation to drive enterprise-level value creation?
