EY Luxembourg and Microsoft will host a joint digital event on "Data Analytics - the expertise that CFOs need" on Thursday 12 November 2020 from 14:00.

This is a 60-minute live online event, which is a joint initiative between EY Luxembourg and Microsoft. During this interactive session, industry experts will share their first-hand experiences on how data analytics has been leveraged to improve the role of the chief financial officer (CFO).

In the past decade, the CFO role has evolved significantly. One primary reason is due to CEO expectations of having a finance department with a more extended vision over business activities, thus moving the finance function away from traditional transactional processing towards being a key business partner. This new role highlighted the need for leveraging technology to have an overview of the company activities. Data analytics was considered as one of the foremost priorities for CFOs.

Guest speakers from ArcelorMittal, EY and Microsoft will speak at this event, which is supported by the Indian Business Chamber of Luxembourg (IBCL).
