Event Synopsis:

In the fast-paced Internet Age, much of the technology used by finance departments will likely move to the cloud computing model. Business experts believe in its ability to render competitive advantage with potentially high revenue return while reducing costs. However, this alternative approach brings a number significant risks especially in regulatory compliance, data security, integration and inter-operation.

Finance directors, compliance officers, corporate counsel and other concerned professionals will need to work closely together to ensure effectiveness and utilize the best practices in the adoption and implementation of Finance in the Cloud as well as prevent costly errors and penalties that will likely come with it.

The Knowledge Group is assembling a panel of experts who will help you understand how to navigate these murky waters in a two-hour live webcast. A live interaction with the audience is also included in this event.
