PROGRAM SCHEDULE

SERIES KICK-OFF: OCTOBER 1ST

TAKING STOCK OF THE DIGITAL SHIFT: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Six months ago and in the space of a few short weeks, businesses around the world shut their offices and moved to an entirely remote workforce as the pandemic forced the closure of all but essential businesses. The abrupt shift to work from home for CFOs, treasurers and their teams laid bare the inefficiencies of systems, processes and workflows that relied too much on paper and manual processes to keep business flowing.

We’ll hear from a panel of corporates who will share their challenges in managing payments workflows across their own cash position at a time when cash flow and liquidity across their entire financial and supply chain was never more important.
