New Age Finance and Accounting Summit 2022 | Khaleej Times | 16 May 2022 | Hybrid Event

Finance and accounting leaders are dealing with a rough terrain, yet accepting wider and strategic responsibilities during the critical phase of 2021. As the Middle East economies bounce back after a tough 2020, there’s never been a better time for the region’s finance and accounting community to come together and learn how to survive and thrive.

The second edition of Khaleej Times New Age Finance and Accounting Summit (NAFA), scheduled to take place on May 17-18, will take a deep dive into how can organisations prepare for any future uncertainty, where do the growth opportunities lie and how CFOs can play a critical role in influencing business resilience and change.

The cross industry forum will be in a Hybrid format with thought leadership engagements led by Finance and Accounting leaders, industry experts, and leading solution providers in the space.
