Being the Best: Insights from Leading Finance Functions
Join your colleagues for Being the Best - Insights from Leading Finance Functions. During this interactive forum we will release the results of international research commissioned by KPMG which examines how leading finance executives are becoming more actively engaged in addressing strategic issues for their organization through improving the effectiveness of their finance and accounting function, and how they interact with business units and external stakeholders.
Through panel discussions with CFOs from leading Canadian organizations and KPMG, we will explore best practices and lessons learned on how CFOs are working to transform their finance functions, shifting finance's emphasis away from its traditional role as accountant and controller, to that of a business partner focused on strategic decision making and creating value.
