84% of UK CFOs now say 'AI outpacing controls and governance' is a threat to their business continuity and operations within the next 12 months – and that's just one part of a much bigger picture.
The risks don't stop at AI. In this session, we unpack the wider technology risk picture: cyber, controls, technical debt and more, and what finance leaders can do about each of them.
Aislinn Mae, from Grant Thornton's technology advisory team, set the scene, unpacking how technology decisions made today show up as financial consequences tomorrow.
Jamie Beaumont, CFO at Trustmarque Ultima, then joined Mark O'Sullivan, Head of Digital and Technology Services at Grant Thornton, for a frank conversation about what the technology agenda really means for finance leaders today: what the risks are, the CFO's role in owning them, and what good looks like in practice.
Catch up for insights on:
- Building the skills your finance function needs to deploy and oversee technology safely
- Why a fragmented technology stack is a risk, not just an inconvenience
- Setting clear ownership for cyber, data and AI across your organisation
- Managing risk across multiple systems and vendors
