Corporate and Shared Services
National Insights – Summer Edition

Wednesday, 9 February 2022 | 11am – 1:10pm AEDT | Online

Event Overview

Reimagining Business Processes to Enable the Evolving Government

2022 will continue to change the priorities of public sector finance, driving the evolution of corporate functions into more data-driven, communicative, and intelligence enabling decision-making hubs. And where the back office begins delivering strategic, analytical value and continuous improvement capabilities, public sector finance functions will see more opportunity to pivot and transform their services and take on more of a business-enabling role.

To aid further exploration of how finance functions of the future could take shape, we’ve put together the first Virtual Event in our 2022 Corporate & Shared Services Community National Insights series.
