CFO Live

Amid a welter of regulatory, political, social and competitive pressures, CFOs are bracing for yet more change as their role evolves beyond the core finance function. The new mandate of finance chiefs entails strategic leadership, cross-function partnership and business transformation to drive value and create better businesses.

The Australian Financial Review is joining forces with the Group of 100 to host the inaugural CFO Live, the definitive event for the nation’s top finance professionals. The summit will gather the nation’s top CFOs to give voice to their unique operational and strategic perspectives on the issues, challenges and opportunities facing Australian businesses.
