Finance transformation is positioned as a continuous improvement journey for the fi nance department to contribute business excellence as an overall goal for organisations. Typically CFOs defi ne fi nance transformation as realigning the focus of fi nance to add more value and participate as a business partner, where accounting activities are done by a separate team.
Embarking on this journey is never easy with unclear visions of what challenges to expect and how they can be solved. SSON and IQPC have researched and discovered the 3 main hurdles to successful outcomes:
1. How do we effectively redesign fi nance end to end processes whilst adding value?
2. Sustaining accuracy within processes such as accounts payable, accounts receivables, reporting, book keeping and capital management
3. Managing talent to drive a seamless fi nance transformation journey
Over the two days of this conference, you can expect these challenges to be dissected along with their solutions. Sixteen speakers will share their expertise, for you to gain an advantage in kick starting a seamless fi nance transformation project.

PRE CONFERENCE MASTERCLASS:18 July 2011, Monday
How to get the best out of our internal stakeholders 0900 – 1200 (including morning tea and lunch)
In the fi nance transformation journey, it is critical to have support from internal stakeholders to ensure decisions, implementations and strategies are executed in a timely manner. This is to ensure the fi nance transformation projects within the fi nance department are evolved in the shortest period of time and with the least disruptions in daily activities. For professionals directly involved in P2P (accounts payable), maintaining a good relationship with the suppliers are important for payment terms, thus Liam will showcase the best ways to work with stakeholders with techniques you are already using and how to further enhance this.
3 takeaways you will get from Liam Ward:
Þ Working with our stakeholders to ensure they deliver on time. Þ How to build strong relationships with our stakeholders. Þ Is there a difference in managing the relationships between suppliers and internal stakeholders?
Tim HurmanManagerING LIFE JAPAN
What does it mean to be a fi nance business partner?1300 – 1600 (including afternoon tea and networking break)
When asked, “ What is the role of a fi nance business partner?” many will give differing views since there’s always a question over what Executives expect from their fi nance business partner. Jon Bradbury will clarify the duties of a fi nance business partner and what it can mean to a business when its Finance department transforms from being a simple number cruncher to a sophisticated provider of insightful business analysis.
In a snap shot you will discover:
Þ Making sense of the non-sense: The role of a fi nance business partnerÞ Business analysis for the non fi nancial leaderÞ Champion of best practice sharing
Jonathan BradburyFormer Regional Head, Business AnalysisAIA GROUP LIMITED
Jon Bradbury is a CFO with a difference. Throughout his 25 year career he has worked on aligning, changing, growing and improving diversely sized organisations across Asia. He has a history of repositioning the fi nance department as a true strategic business partner to both executive management teams and Boards. He is well liked by his colleagues and peers as he brings a refreshingly practical and analytical approach to changing organisations. Jon began his career with Standard Chartered Bank’s International Offi cer Programme before deciding to start his own management consulting business, Serenda Services. Here, he worked with various clients in diverse industries including pharmaceuticals, paper, heavy industries and telecommunications across Asia. After 9-years in consulting, Jon took a role with Winterthur Hong Kong as CFO. Recognized for his visionary leadership, planning and technical skills, Jon was promoted to Director level within Swiss Privilege, their Private Wealth Management arm in Hong Kong. In this prestigious position, Jon completed a successful 7-year tenure focused on transforming policies and strategies for sales, tax management and fi nance transformations implementing several state of the art business information systems. Jon also facilitated the integration of Winterthur with AXA in Asia as the two Groups merged.
Subsequently, Jon was headhunted by AIA (initially in Singapore and then HK), who were embarking on a major fi nance transformation to address several accounting material weaknesses. The focus of his work was originally the development of the fi nance function - its structure, target operating model, capabilities, business impact and the effective project management of change within fi nance and the business overall. Later as Regional Head of Business Analysis, Jon spearheaded the development of timely management information and analysis building a regional dashboard as well as introducing a cash based bottom up budget process. During his tenure, the global fi nancial crisis hit AIG hard, resulting in Jon being more closely involved with initially preparing AIA for listing, Prudential UK’s failed bid and, ultimately, in AIA’s record-breaking IPO, raising USD20 billion.
