    After experiencing one of the most severe economic shocks of the past century in 2020, the US economy has vaulted into one of the most rapid recoveries in modern history in 2021. Still, it’s not time to pop the Champagne. The recovery process is far from complete, and the next stage of the recovery will be trickier to navigate.

  • Thumbnail for Finance at the Forefront of M&A
    Date
    April 27, 2022

    Despite the impact of the global pandemic, there has been no shortage of merger and acquisition (M&A) and divestiture activity. Deals rose by 65% in 2021 to more than $5.6 trillion .Respondents in a global survey by Bain & Company expected M&A to contribute to 45% of their growth in the future compared with about 30% over the past three years.

    Finance has always been an integral part of the M&A process. However, until relatively recently, that role has been mostly focused on performing financial due diligence, integrating financial systems, and tracking synergy savings realisation. In the current environment, we are seeing the role of finance expand from purely an accounting lens to a more strategic role in M&A.  During this session we will explore what makes a successful strategic finance M&A capability.

    Is doing good, good for business? CFOs play a transformative role in their organizations, and the pressures of being a data-driven finance leader, a catalyst for human-centric digital transformation, and a strategic partner to the C-suite may seem to leave little room for tackling environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges. Yet a recent Accenture survey of senior finance leaders found that 68% of respondents say that Finance is responsible for their organization's ESG efforts. In this session we'll explore how Finance leaders can start thinking about the relationship between technology and ESG.

  • Thumbnail for Dynamic Risk and Finance Integration
    Date
    April 28, 2022

    By integrating the Risk and Finance information, a firm can understand and derive its current and future financial health more comprehensively.

    The risks to a firm are many - financial, operational, reputational, regulatory, and business. Some are easier to quantify than others. The ones that are difficult to quantify are typically addressed with qualitative analysis, adjustments, and overlays.

    Financial entities are heavily and increasingly invested in this integrated approach, especially since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Among other things, the GFC exposed the absence of this integration. Since many of these entities were considered globally & systemically risky, many regulations such as BCBS-239, IFRS 17-11, CCAR, ICAAP, etc. were enacted to avert this in the future. Ultimately the goal of these regulations, which continue to evolve, is to force financial institutions to take a more integrated view of risk. Although there were many skeptics, today there is general consensus that these regulations have made financial institutions significantly more sound.

    Non-financial firms will benefit from the same approach as well, albeit fine-tuned and adjusted for their individual business environment and operating model.

    Date
    April 28, 2022

    With increased urgency about climate impacts and the widespread embrace of major social issues, there is also increased demand for disclosures on these concerns being made by investors, and other stakeholders, including regulators.

    Recent major developments include the formation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) by the IFRS Foundation, the creation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the EU, and in the US, what the SEC has referred to as an “all agency response” to these concerns.

    This session will provide an overview of the evolving reporting and regulatory landscape, along with an approach for building an ESG program and managing sustainability performance in your company.
