09:15 Keynote: Building a Business Case for the Digital Automation Disruption of Finance and Accounting

With the growing focus on transparency by way of initiatives such as Justified Trust and BEPS, Australian companies will spend more than $40 billion a year on tax compliance reporting. This comes on top of the need to gather, analyze and understand data and processes across a host of functional areas. While onerous, these also create a golden opportunity.

Technology such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) helps meet the requirements of this new era of compliance by enabling improved control, flexibility to scale, process speed, data accuracy and much more - while at the same time laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.

PracticalTransformationandArtificialIntelligenceinFinance Teams

NICK SUTHERLANDDeputy CFOBroadspectrum

MICHAEL HENEGANDirectorCALUMO

43% of senior finance executives surveyed in North America and Europe believe effective use of automation can take finance teams beyond simply improving the bottom line, and enable them to deliver new business insights. This session will cover the potential of RPA to not just optimize routine finance tasks, but reimagine the finance function entirely.

“Stop transforming and start succeeding” - KPMG 2019. How to achieve effective transformation and realise the benefits of AI without spending a fortune.

11:45 Panel: Achieving Stakeholder Buy-In for Digital Transformation in Finance and Accounting

Lack of buy-in from senior management is one of the main reasons finance transformations fail, so making sure they are on board is critical. This session will outline major steps that can be taken to increase that probability: identifying key stakeholders and their needs and requirements, engaging them with a “head, heart, and hands” approach, seeking the involvement and support of leadership, and setting up robust feedback loops for progress tracking and measuring.

09:45 Augmenting Business Planning With Predictive Forecasting & AI Helps Finance Deliver Higher EfficiencyAndContinuousForesight

DAVID UPTONDirector of Strategic Partnerships & Alliances, Asia PacificJedox

Many industries are experiencing swift disruption from market competition, regulator actions, and changes in organization cultures. A key challenge for FP&A and CFOs is to be part of this disruption dialogue, and to ensure businesses continue to operate with financial foresight. However, if FP&A and CFOs are constantly bogged down by mundane traditional finance areas, how can they drive business value and ditch their old outfit for a strategic advisor outfit? Predictive forecasting is making finance more valuable to the business. It presents an opportunity to fundamentally transform how business thinks and plans the future, but not if you do it wrong. Jedox will be sharing how share how we work with organizations to streamline their integrated business planning on a single source of truth (data); embark on scenario planning and predictive forecasting to drive efficiencies and higher value activities.
