As economic growth and consumer spending still remain unstable in one of the toughest economies in the last decade, Chief Financial Officers are facing their biggest challenges yet in maintaining and growing their organizations. Overcoming the volatile market place, discovering new strategies whilst evading key risks is pivotal for the success of the organization.
The decline in the US economy and weakening consumer demand is a serious concern to CFOs. They are worried that economic growth and consumer spending may continue to stagnate. CFOs understand that they are dealing with one of the toughest economies in the last decade with such volatility in the financial markets and crisis in the credit industry that they are anxious and wary over their customers creditworthiness and the financial health of their suppliers, which in turn causes concern about their own company’s access to capital.
This economic turmoil, irrespective of industry, is making forecasting increasing difficult. The internal concern over the cost of labor is affecting company initiatives and underperforming business units are dissolving. CFOs are facing increasing challenges in all areas of the business, making their attempts to grow their organizations riskier. Yet experts report that there is reason for optimism.
The unique format of the CFO Summit XIX aims to bring those key areas of concern to the table, alongside issues of: cost of fuel, environmental regulations, rising cost of health care, data security and mergers and acquisitions. The summit will combine these factors into an exchange of solutions and insights among peers in the industry. In addition, the Summit provides executives with the opportunity to interact with providers of technology solutions and services geared entirely towards the growing needs of the CFO.
