We conducted a webinar “Digital Disruption in Finance:  What Lies Ahead” in association with Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) and World Trade Center Metro Manila. Ms. Lisa Beaudoin, Senior Director of Business Development, Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) was the Speaker. 

Ms. Beaudoin explained the six megatrends in finance as - Remote work will be the norm for finance teams; Environmental, social and governance reporting will be crucial; finance will be responsible for Enterprise Risk Management; Diversity, equity & inclusion to be a differentiator; Automation to grow; Greater demand for upskilling. She listed the job roles that are likely to be taken over by automation in the near future. She observed that with respect to India, the major factors that challenge the future of controllership are - limited financial resources, lack of time for transformation and lack of expertise. She added that value creation in controllership can be achieved by a diverse & talented workforce that is able to leverage digital technology and implement transformation initiatives.
