AI’s Role in Transforming the Finance Sector

Faced with ongoing uncertainty and economic volatility, finance leaders are under mounting pressure to mitigate risks, strengthen resilience and help build agility across their organisations. Advanced AI-powered technologies promise to reshape how finance departments plan, budget, consolidate and operate. However, the true value of these new tools, in terms of ROI, productivity gains and protection against financial vulnerabilities, can be difficult to gauge.

There are questions around the impacts of the latest AI technologies across strategy, finance, and operations. There are also concerns about how to address issues of data quality, governance, and workforce readiness to ensure the safe and effective adoption of AI capabilities. What do CFOs and finance leaders need to know about the real-world application of AI innovations? What’s working, what’s not and what has been learned by early adopters?

This webinar on 6 November, AI’s Role in Transforming the Finance Sector, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Anaplan, is for finance leaders evaluating applicability, approaches and implementation of AI capabilities. The discussion will highlight the role of AI in financial planning, scenario modelling, and performance management, and consider the operational and financial data governance shifts needed to realise the technology’s full potential.
