Background

The role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of banks and other financial intermediaries has been evolving over time to acquire increasingly enhanced status. In recent times, the RBI and other financial regulators have tended to recognise the CFO as a critical senior management functionary who could potentially strengthen governance and can therefore, among others, facilitate more effective regulatory oversight. 
 

Objective

"Building on the last two CAFRAL programs for CFOs, this two day-long Conference will deliberate upon recent regulatory, legal and technological developments which have implications for the remit of the finance & accounts (F&A) function and role of the CFO. 
More particularly, the Conference would discuss how advanced technologies including cloud computing and blockchain have started reshaping the finance & accounts function and how they could potentially redefine the role of the CFO.
"
