Businesses continue to experience significant levels of disruption and impact from a number of global trends. The need for business transformation has accelerated, creating an environment of uncertainty and volatility. The core capability for any business is its ability to respond effectively to disruption. A strong Finance function is central to supporting businesses to remain competitive and drive growth.
