1st National Conclave on 5th August 2011 at New Delhi

As you are aware of the increasing complexity and volatility of the business environment in which CFOs operate today is demanding a transformation of the F&A function. Meeting the expectations of business heads, customers, suppliers, capital markets and regulatory authorities requires not only an efficient and responsive operation but also focusing on both the ends of spectrum - delivering “value” from finance, alongside the efficient provision of “back office” services.

In the current economic scenario, visionary CFO's are looking at building "best in class" finance operations with embedded & enhanced controls, enabling metrics based decision making to lead and support their enterprise cost savings mandates, and ensuring effective use of information, costs and capital to deliver value. CFOs are increasingly evaluating the option of pursuing the Shared Services Strategy to transform and deliver best practice through finance process re-engineering and assessing and implementing emerging and enabling technologies to improve/automate processes.
