Ethics Matters: Corporate Governance and CFOs,” the podcast where we dive deep into the critical intersection of corporate governance. Sustainability and ESG reporting have gained significant attention in recent years. How do CFOs incorporate these considerations into their financial strategies and decision-making? CFOs recognise that sustainable practices and ESG considerations are not only ethical imperatives but also critical for long-term business success. We incorporate these considerations into financial strategies by assessing the environmental and social impacts of our operations, supply chains, and investment decisions. By incorporating ESG factors into our financial analyses, we make more informed decisions that align with our company’s values and stakeholder expectations. Furthermore, CFOs play a pivotal role in ESG reporting. We collaborate with cross-functional teams to collect relevant data, establish reporting frameworks, and communicate the company’s sustainability initiatives to stakeholders. This transparency fosters trust and accountability while allowing investors, customers, and the broader community to evaluate our commitment to sustainable practices. Board engagement is essential for effective corporate governance. How can CFOs contribute to building a strong relationship between the CFO and the board of directors? Building a strong relationship with the board of directors begins with open and transparent communication. CFOs provide timely and accurate financial information, strategic insights, and risk assessments to the board. We actively participate in board meetings, present financial reports, and engage in discussions about financial performance, strategic initiatives, and potential risks. By demonstrating our financial expertise and ethical leadership, we contribute to a healthy and productive relationship with the board. It’s also crucial for CFOs to provide independent perspectives and challenge conventional thinking when necessary. By offering well-informed insights and raising critical questions, we contribute to robust board discussions and decision-making. This collaborative approach fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and ethical considerations are thoroughly examined. I would encourage fellow CFOs to prioritise ethics and corporate governance as integral components of their roles. Embed ethical considerations into decision-making processes, ensure robust governance structures, and actively engage with stakeholders. By doing so, we can drive sustainable, responsible, and successful organizations. https://www.fdcapital.co.uk/podcast/ethics-matters-corporate-governance-and-cfos/ Tags Online Events Things To Do Online Online Conferences Online Business Conferences #event #ethics #matters #cfos #corporategovernance

An interactive workshop experience with personal stylist Emma Shoe, sharing her expertise on how to create a wardrobe you'll truly treasure! How To Create A Wardrobe To Treasure............ Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes that you don't love? Do you have lots of things hanging in your wardrobe you never or rarely wear? Do you mostly default to the same few outfits all the time? Thinking you'd like to have less stuff, but value what you do have more? Keen to discover more planet friendly ways to update your wardrobe? This group styling experience is for you if you answered yes to any of these questions. During the workshop, we will share wardrobe treasures, discuss personal style, look at shape and colour and more sustainable ways to create your wardrobe. You'll get the opportunity to 'play' with creating outfits and experiment with new looks for your own wardrobe. The practical and tangible outcomes you'll experience from this workshop include: How to edit what's in your wardrobe. Emma's approach to eliminate regretful shopping mistakes and binge buying. The flat-lay method to create outfits and plan looks. How to create your wardrobe of treasure. Why and how to embrace the circular fashion model. Access to Emma's black book of favourite pre-loved treasure troves. About Emma: Emma (Shoe) Reed is the founder of Styling You Well. She is a former shoe designer turned personal stylist and image consultant. She has over twelve years expertise styling women, transforming confidence and mindset to elevate professional presence. Emma's clients are entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders, professional women dealing with major life changes or transitioning from experiences like the menopause, divorce, illness, promotion, career change or returning to work post maternity leave. Kind words... "Emma is a fantastic personal stylist. She put items together that I never would have thought of myself. This is her unique gift. She has great knowledge of body shapes and made suggestions that were really flattering. She is also a master at accessorising. I would highly recommend her if you need some styling support." "I took the opportunity in lock-down to take a hard look at my personal style - or perhaps lack of personal style is a more appropriate phrase! Having left corporate life behind a few years ago, I felt I knew how to dress smartly and I LOVE my jeans and gold trainers but I knew that there had to be something stylish yet relaxed that looked AND felt great...I just couldn't seem to find it alone. Cue Emma. I'd attended one of her Capsule Wardrobe Styling sessions in Hampton which opened my eyes to the possibility of having a small but hard-working wardrobe with the right accessories to make it feel fresh. So, I booked in for Emma's virtual styling session which was a revelation! I quickly understood why I didn't feel (or look) great in certain pieces and which styles and colours really work/don't work for my body shape and skin-tone. I also realised that I'd been stuck in a colour rut for quite some time. It was time to say good-bye to black. It also became obvious during the session that there were giant gaps in my wardrobe - mostly due to my overly-enthusiastic Marie Kondo-style clear outs! My interest in shopping for clothes has been renewed - I feel like I have a better idea of what I should be looking for which makes it all so much easier and more fun. I'm also feeling much braver with colour. I can't wait to take Emma shopping with me in real life. She knows her stuff and she's also great fun to be around." "Emma was such a joy to help me go through my wardrobe and get me interested in clothes again. She was kind, honest, practical and had a very stylish take on my limited wardrobe. I trusted her judgement implicitly and was buzzing after our session. Highly recommend Emma for her professionalism and empathy plus the fabulous outfits."

Technology and innovation and its profound impact on financial operations Technology adoption indeed comes with risks, particularly around data security and privacy. As CFOs, we must ensure robust cybersecurity measures and adhere to strict data protection regulations. It requires ongoing investment in secure systems, staff training, and proactive monitoring to mitigate risks and protect sensitive financial information. Change management is also crucial. The adoption of new technologies requires proper planning, training, and cultural adjustments. As CFOs, we need to foster a culture that embraces innovation and continuous learning. Clear communication about the benefits and objectives of technology adoption is essential to gain buy-in and drive successful implementation. Fantastic insights! Now, let’s discuss the future. What emerging technologies do you foresee shaping the future of finance functions? One area that holds immense potential is blockchain technology. Its decentralised and transparent nature has the potential to streamline financial transactions, enhance auditability, and revolutionize supply chain finance. We’re closely monitoring blockchain’s development and exploring pilot projects to leverage its benefits. I agree, blockchain is a game-changer. Additionally, as the internet of things (IoT) expands, we anticipate new opportunities and challenges. CFOs will need to adapt to the influx of real-time data from interconnected devices, leveraging this information to optimize financial processes, enhance risk management, and improve operational efficiencies. Before we wrap up, any final thoughts or advice for our CFO audience? Embrace technology and view it as an opportunity rather than a threat. Invest in understanding the technological landscape and its implications for finance. Stay curious, adapt, and be open to change. Technology will continue to evolve, and as CFOs, we must evolve with it. Absolutely. Collaboration is key. Engage with IT teams, industry peers, and external experts to stay informed about the latest technological advancements. By fostering partnerships and sharing knowledge, we can collectively navigate the ever-changing technology landscape and drive innovation within our organisations. https://www.fdcapital.co.uk/podcast/technology-and-innovation-and-its-profound-impact-on-financial-operations/ Tags Online Events Things To Do Online Online Conferences Online Science & Tech Conferences #technology #innovation #financial #impact #operations
