IFA Saudi Arabia: The AI-Enabled Strategic CFO: Leading Finance Beyond the Numbers | 24 October

The CFO’s role is evolving rapidly — from steward of the numbers to strategic leader and value creator. Artificial intelligence is accelerating this shift, giving finance leaders new opportunities to automate routine activity, generate deeper insights and make faster, better-informed decisions.

This session will explore how AI is transforming the finance function, from reporting and forecasting to real-time scenario planning, predictive analytics, risk management and smarter capital allocation.

The session will also consider the leadership skills and mindset CFOs need to move finance beyond its traditional role as scorekeeper and position it at the heart of strategic decision-making.

Attendees will leave with practical insights and a clear roadmap for leading their finance function confidently into the AI era.
