12th Asian Insurance CFO Summit 2018 | Asia Insurance Review | 23 May 2018 | Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong, Supreme Ct Rd, Central, Hong Kong

The Risk Landscape is changing in the insurance world and it’s either evolve or dissolve. As Chief Financial Officers scramble to come up to speed with the new revolution of digital, innovation and the millennial era, it is a survival game to keep on top of this new normal, amidst the usual responsibilities of being the henchmen for the whole business, the key drivers of growth, whilst holding the financial fort in monitoring the financial heartbeat of the company.

As if this isn’t enough, new insurance accounting standards are on the horizon. Ifrs 17 is set to change the whole mindset of insurance accounting from the last 20 years. What constitutes the new Chief Financial Officer vision? What is the new radar? What is the new finance priority for Chief Financial Officers today and what are the new challenges?

Today’s Chief Financial Officer must play a critical role in the bigger picture, the strategic direction and decision making of his company. No longer is the Chief Financial Officer only the financial manager of an organisation. The new Chief Financial Officer must take charge of business transformation too - this means handling wider responsibilities around digital, big data, technology and the fixation on Blockchain and how it will revolutionize the insurance way of thinking on data and security. Add the threat of Cyber, the onset of InsurTech and regulatory changes to the fold. All this evolving technology has led to increased finance process automation – how can Chief Financial Officers manage?

The 12th in the series of Insurance Chief Financial Officer Summits will look at how the Chief Financial Officer Risk Agenda is transforming and what Chief Financial Officers can do to equip themselves moving forward. What do Chief Financial Officers need to do to shine in the corporate spotlight whilst mastering the new digital arena? What new skill set are required in the new eco system?

Agility is the name of the game, Profitability the end-game!
