How is the role of the CFO evolving and what does it mean for the future of finance? In this episode, you’ll gain key takeaways from Hays’ CFO Insights Report, which surveyed nearly 300 CFOs across Australia and New Zealand. You’ll learn how finance leaders are shifting from traditional financial management to a more strategic “chief value officer” role, driving broader organisational impact in an increasingly volatile business landscape. Gain valuable insights into how CFOs are using AI for automation, prioritising cybersecurity amid growing threats, and embedding sustainability into financial strategy as ESG regulations come into sharper focus.
