Harnessing Emerging Technologies, Strategies & Skills to Reinvent the Finance Function


Once considered a numbers only, operational function, the role of today’s finance teams continues to shift emphasis, with modern finance functions now evolving into data-driven and intelligence-enabled decision-making hubs.

Driving this change is an operational imperative in the public sector space; do more with less. This coupled with a desire to pivot finance from a cost centre into a more business-enabling function that acts as a strategic business partner has seen the role and remit of finance and the finance professional transform greatly.

Corporate and Shared Services Community Prospectus

Public Sector shared service transformation has been hyped as key to economic recovery following a tumultuous 2020. The Morrison Government’s 2020 Federal Budget allocated $35.6 million to arm the APS with better tools for shared enterprise resource planning through the GovERP System.
