Improve Compliance, Visibility, and Control in Your Financial Close

The financial close has never faced more pressure. Audit expectations are shifting from periodic review to continuous verification. Regulatory complexity is increasing. Deadlines are tighter and month-end workflows are often still held together by spreadsheets, manual reviews, and scattered evidence. Meanwhile, finance teams are being asked to move faster with the same, or fewer, resources. In this expert roundtable, specialists with 30+ years of experience across EPM, financial close operations, and reconciliation technology will share guidance on how finance teams can strengthen compliance, improve visibility, and tighten control across the close without adding unnecessary complexity. What you will walk away with:

• The ability to identify exactly where your close carries hidden risk, so you can prioritise the improvements that protect your team before the next audit

• A repeatable set of strategies to strengthen compliance and standardise review

• A right-sized approach to reconciliation improvement that fits your team's size, budget, and operating reality

• Confidence in where automation will genuinely reduce your workload today — and where it will create new exposure if you move too fast without the right controls

• A first-hand look at what a faster, audit-ready reconciliation process actually looks like, so you can benchmark your current process against something concrete

Who should attend This session is designed for finance, accounting, and controllership teams looking to improve reconciliation, reduce close risk, and build a more controlled month-end process without unnecessary operational complexity.
