Regional CFO Summit 2010
ACCA will be hosting its inaugural "Regional CFO Summit" on 5th August 2010 in Kuala Lumpur with the theme "CFOs in a Golden Age: Do You Measure Up?".
The accounting profession today is experiencing a "Golden Age", where demand for accountants and their talent and skills is reaching unforeseen peaks as businesses plagued by global crisis seek financial professionals with visionary, strategic and operational capabilities.
While crisis is catalysing demand, it is also rewriting the roles played by accountants in business as companies seek innovative and value-added means to survive and thrive amidst a global business landscape that has changed irrevocably. In response, the role of the accountant is expanding in scope, intensity and diversity, no longer confined to crunching numbers in the backroom. Therefore, accountants must look beyond their comfort zone, as financial know-how is no longer the sole success factor for effective Chief Financial Officers (CFOs). To capitalise on the vast opportunities opening up in the "Golden Age", you need the ability to communicate successfully, to mould and lead an effective Finance team and to provide innovative and forward-looking analysis that will enable your firm to stay ahead.
To assist CFOs in navigating the "Golden Age", this one day summit; jointly organised with Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (ASLI) welcomes top CFOs and financial executives from across all major industry sectors in the region to exchange views, discuss key industry concerns and share best practices as they contend with the increasing challenges facing their organisations.
This one day high-level and highly informative summit will also feature expert insights and compelling case studies on various current issues affecting CFOs in the region that will definitely help CFOs guide their firm to success, while seizing the abundant prospects of the "Golden Age".
