OUR CFO Circle

The CFO Circle offers members an exclusive opportunity to discuss current challenges and developments within the finance industry and share expertise and experience with each other. In today's fast-paced environment, we have seen the complexities of financial management, both domestically and internationally, become more critical than ever. The role of a CFO has expanded significantly to include strategic planning, risk management, and guiding the organisation through economic uncertainties. Additionally, the rapid advancements in financial technology, data analytics, and data security have transformed the way CFOs operate. Changes in regulations, whether related to financial reporting, tax laws, or sustainability requirements, add further layers of responsibility and complexity. The CFO Circle gives Finance Directors and CFOs of our member organisations the chance to meet and discuss these current developments in the finance landscape. It provides a platform to share expertise, address common challenges, and learn from each other's experiences. All our Circles follow the Chatham House Rules, ensuring a confidential and open dialogue.

In today's volatile economic landscape, effective procurement and supply chain management have become more critical than ever. The ability to navigate supply chain disruptions, manage costs, and ensure a reliable flow of goods and services is essential for businesses to remain competitive.

Procurement professionals play a pivotal role in identifying cost-saving opportunities, negotiating favourable terms with suppliers, and mitigating risks associated with supply chain disruptions. By developing robust procurement strategies, businesses can optimize their spending, improve supplier relationships, and enhance their overall financial performance.
