To meet the demands of their expanding roles, accounting and finance leaders are transforming the way work is done so their teams can adapt quickly in a dynamic environment and focus on the priorities of the organization. This requires bringing in technology to rid accounting & finance teams of old, manual ways of doing things. Automating manual, mundane tasks creates valuable time to focus on pressing matters.

 

Learning Objectives:

1) Identify ways modern accounting can help accounting & finance focus on the more important matters of the organization.

2) Recognize how to build a framework for accelerating modern accounting and measuring success along the way.

3) Discuss how a modern accounting approach can enable accounting & finance teams to lead their organizations with better decision-making with real-time access to financial data.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_single_image image=”4382″ img_size=”medium”][qodef_separator type=”full-width” color=”#68bc45″ border_style=”solid” thickness=”3″ top_margin=”30px” bottom_margin=”50px”][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text deg=”0″]

TOPIC 2: Risky (Hybrid) Business

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]

CFOs are playing a central role in rethinking the post-pandemic office for the entire organization.   With a whole host of new variables and risks in 2022 that can be mitigated but not controlled, finding ways to close the digital skills gap, optimize core processes and coax further employee performance gains are areas for big wins.  Rethinking the “office” carries a one-time opportunity for Finance and IT to double down on pandemic era gains, get ahead of rising costs, close security gaps and eliminate process obstacles that hinder growth.

Join the Ricoh Canada panel of experts in digital transformation, cyber security and process optimization as they discuss the obstacles confronting finance leaders in 2022.

HARRY TAYLOR

Executive Vice President, Finance & CFO
WestJet Airlines

 

The pandemic disrupted the airline industry in many ways.  At the onset, fear of contracting the virus, travel restrictions and quarantine rules, and cancellation of large-scale events meant that people did not travel for business or pleasure. As the pandemic continued, and new COVID variants emerged, travel demand remained depressed. The pandemic also lowered the barriers for new entrants into the market, changing the competitive landscape. Find out how WestJet managed through the uncertainty of the crisis, and how they are preparing for the future as travel demand rebounds.

 

“As businesses across Canada turn their focus to recovery from the pandemic, it’s important to come together and learn from each other,” said Harry Taylor, WestJet Chief Financial Officer. “After two immensely challenging years, the FEI conference provides a terrific opportunity for finance leaders from across the country to share experiences, exchange ideas and learn from one another. And have some fun while doing so!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25″][vc_column_text]

This session will explore the emerging trends to facilitate the transfer of funds between businesses.  The panel will discuss the new technologies that are being adopted, the use of digital currencies, risk mitigation strategies and the benefits of more efficient and less costly transactions.

• How does technology and regulation influence the evolution of payments?

• Can consumer preferences shift the way we transact on a daily basis? (Perks/rewards, payment deferral, payment splitting, transaction speed/cost)

• Will the ‘underbanked’ and ‘unbanked’ consumers around the world drive the payment revolution and fundamentally change the payment structures?

• Is Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), both wholesale and retail, solve the problems with payments today (cost, time, compliance?)  Is digital Yuan driving the global adoption?

• Is crypto the end game of global commerce?  How can companies leverage crypto today from investment and capital management perspective?[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text deg=”0″]

TOPIC 3: enhancing private company value with effective governance

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]

Governance is often thought of as a bureaucratic necessity for public companies, which is probably why governance is often not a priority for private companies.  However, effective governance can add tremendous value to a private company by improving risk management, strategic planning and other key areas of the business.  While public companies may spend considerable time dealing with statutory requirements,  private companies have the advantage of tailoring and evolving their governance model to meet the needs of the business and its owners.  As an operator and strategic partner across various functions, the CFO plays a key role in the governance process and can be a catalyst for change.

The panel of experts will discuss the ways in which good governance can enhance business value and the key considerations for private companies, including:

• Governance models – Differences between public and private companies

• Boards of Directors vs. Advisory Boards

• Benefits in periods of transition (e.g., succession, IPO, sale)

• Challenges and keys to success

A panel of experts will examine how technological disruptions are impacting mergers & acquisitions, financing, entrepreneur exit alternatives and family business succession for privately held companies. Our discussion will include topics such as:

 

• Open banking, crypto currency and fintech and their impacts on the lending landscape
• The changing role of the banker in this digital landscape
• Digital transformation and aging business owners, setting the next generation up for success
• How technology is changing the M&A process for buyers and sellers
• The accuracy of automated valuation reports and their impact on selling expectations
• We will also ensure there is adequate time to address any additional questions from the audience around technology trends and private company finance.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text deg=”0″]

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]In this session, we will explore finance’s role in managing the effectiveness of operations while maintaining an optimal level of risk. The panelists will address how finance can use technology to provide forward looking insights on managing suppliers, procurement practices, global supply chains and contracts. The session will discuss trends in supply chain simulation, procurement modelling and ESG practices which facilitate the operating efficiency of the organization.

In depth topics:

CUSMA (NAFTA 2.0) implications to North America trade. Does political and tax landscape make Canadian companies attractive to supply goods and services to the US and Mexico, as well as internationally?

• Do geopolitical pressures across the world put pressure on North American companies tolook for local suppliers and customers? Is regionalization the next evolution of the global trade?

• Do EGS pressures create restrictions for trade in certain parts of the world. As we enter a commodity super cycle globally, how can Canadian companies keep their supply costs competitive?

• What role does finance play in operations excellence and strategy of the business and its supply chain? Deeper look at the supply chain simulation and procurement modelling.
