These are designed to supplement our live annual Contemporary FD Summit, scheduled for September 2023, where the CFOs and FDs of the country's most exciting, innovative and ambitious companies come together to share ideas, insights and advice.

Hard as it may seem to imagine, only just over a year ago predictions were for a firm post COVID boost in the economy, however the current economic landscape continues to be unpredictable. So, what must a shrewd CFO do to protect against unpredictability? We decided to bring an experienced panel together to share their insight, knowledge, and real-life experiences, looking at a suggested set of ‘rules’ to follow.
