Details

The future of finance is all about managing across functions, building the right combination of capabilities, and establishing a strong data foundation. On-going dialogues with finance leaders across the function reveal a continued commitment to driving growth through digital transformation.

However, the maelstrom of non-aligned priorities, talent shortages, legacy processes and too many options when it comes to technologies make the road to growth in 2024 a formidable challenge for even the most seasoned finance professionals.

If there is a steady global economy that supports the overall growth path, Malaysia’s economic growth is projected to be at 4%-5% in 2024. With fiscal strengthening and consolidation as the focus of Malaysia’s 2024 budget, the current Malaysia’s government has set the largest budget ever tabled by any government in Malaysia’s history, with a total allocation of RM393.8 billion for this year. The Budget 2024 aims to address the twin challenges of a less robust global economic outlook and Malaysia’s financial constraints.

Malaysia government is also looking into to building an ecosystem and regulatory frameworks that support green and digital economies investments. While the current administration introduces new taxes and targeted subsidies this year, how would these new developments impact finance leaders in Malaysia?

It bringing together seasoned finance professionals to uncover:
• How to sustain enterprise’s growth engine amidst challenging time
• Transformation roadmap for success in the future
• Best practices in riding the transformation challenges
• Tactics for evaluating digital competencies across the function
• How to build realistic and trustworthy forecasts
• Strategies to shorten the digital financial close
• Top challenges in data, data technology and governance management
• AI and smart automation priorities and use cases
• People management for stronger, digitally competent teams

The challenges ahead present real and economic tailwinds that can derail ongoing efforts to transform organisations into engines of innovation and growth. For the finance team, there remains clear opportunities to lead by example out of the potential maelstrom that lies ahead to bring about sustained growth in the years ahead.
