It’s been a time for CFOs to focus on careful risk management and this will remain a priority as we move into 2025. For organisational success, businesses must adopt risk management practices to adapt to changing conditions. Join our CDP accredited webinar where we consider the key areas of concern that CFOs and finance leaders should focus on as they look ahead into 2025, and why compliance and governance are critical for success.
