Southeast Asia CFO Agenda 2022

After having weathered the COVID-19 pandemic, CFOs might reasonably expect to settle into a more stable environment. But as it turns out, the new normal is business as unusual.

As CFOs strive to lead their organisations through the constant state of change, many are feeling the weight of the ever-changing expectations of their role. Through a survey and a series of in-depth conversations with Southeast Asian CFOs across different sectors, we were able to gain a greater understanding of their sentiments and priorities amidst these additional responsibilities.

In our third edition of the Deloitte SEA CFO Agenda report, we explore the CFOs’ changes in sentiments on key issues year-on-year, and reveal the skillsets they need to prioritise to meet the tall and growing mandate from C-suites and other stakeholders:

1. Higher demands or expectations from C-suite leadership team
2. Broader functional responsibility than pre-pandemic
3. Higher volume of work within pre-pandemic functional responsibilities
   

There is no better time than now for CFOs to play a pivotal role with their business knowledge, analytical insights and data, so that they continue to be the essential bridge between the business of today and the business of tomorrow.
