In a recent Future of Finance webinar, we delved into the rapidly changing landscape of finance and heard how CFOs are preparing their teams for what’s ahead. We discovered that when it comes to finance teams adding strategic value to their organisations, the most significant barrier is insufficient resources or budget (31%), followed by limited access to relevant data or technology (28%). And when it comes to the workforce and skills agenda, a significant portion of finance leaders (44%) indicated they have a general idea of their skills deficits but need to identify specific areas, while a significant portion (22%) are unsure where to start. Does this sound familiar, or is your finance function already future-ready? Watch the session on demand: https://pwc.to/4f4Bbgq #FinanceTransformation #FutureFinance #CFO
