Business Credit Accounting

CFO Forum

Aug 26 - Aug 27, 2024 | In-Person Institute

The CFO Forum tackles the top issues CFOs face today, including emerging tax and accounting strategies, ALM & liquidity, distressed credit and workouts, cybersecurity risk management, and much more.

Be prepared to build your CFO network with plenty of networking opportunities and peer-to-peer collaboration throughout the event. High-performing banks include their CFO as a critical strategic business partner across the financial institution. Such evolution has encouraged the transformation of the CFO from solely traditional tax functions to now include analysis of big data, technology systems, and efficiency strategies.

  • Recognize current credit trends and managing credit risk at your bank.
