GBD147. Agile Finance. Discover the Future By Disrupting The Present.

Feb 26, 2021

"The single pivot point we SHOULD be considering today is the disruption of the finance function in the digital era".

This week’s episode is all about becoming an 'agile' accountant, and our guest is a man who knows all about agility in a fast-changing world. Aubrey Joachim FCMA CGMA MBA was the first CIMA President from outside the UK and Ireland. He discusses finance transformation, agile accounting and why he thinks it's time we dropped the word 'accountant' from our lexicon - because the word simply doesn't convey the scope and pivotal importance of today's professionals in the finance function. You might be interested in attending his March 12th 2021 webinar here.
