CIMA APAC Summit: Redefining the CFO Role in Sri Lanka 📈

The CIMA APAC CFO Summit, scheduled for 19 May 2026 at Amari Colombo, will gather top-tier leaders to address the fundamental transformation of finance leadership from financial stewardship to strategic enterprise leadership. • Strategic Shift: The summit challenges traditional norms, focusing on how CFOs can lead transformation rather than just respond to it, particularly amidst AI disruption and sustainability pressures. • Key Focus Areas: Digital Transformation: Harnessing technology at scale and making high-stakes decisions with imperfect data. Sustainability (ESG): Moving beyond compliance to treat sustainability as a core commercial driver. Strategic Influence: Redefining the CFO’s role as a primary partner to CEOs and boards in capital allocation and risk management. • Expert Leadership: Led by Dr. Noel Tagoe, a global authority on strategy and technology, the forum includes leaders from apparel (Noyon Lanka), banking (Union Bank), telecommunications (Dialog Axiata), and ICT/BPM (LankaPay). • Impact: The invitation-only summit aims to build trust and authority for finance leaders within increasingly complex organizational structures across Sri Lanka and the APAC region.
