FEI NYC Webinar: Global Finance Trends Survey

Nearly every finance organization is using AI or has plans to do so. Forecasting has never been more challenging. Ongoing economic, monetary and trade policy changes are increasing volatility, while internal stakeholders are demanding deeper profitability insights, faster planning cycles and more actionable data. At the same time, enhanced data analytics and financial planning and profitability analysis rank among the top priorities for finance leaders worldwide. And cyber/data security is still the #1 issue for Finance leaders. 

Join Protiviti and Robert Half leaders as they explore findings from the 2026 Global Finance Trends Survey and discuss how leading organizations are assessing AI use cases and ROI, and strengthening FP&A capabilities through advanced analytics, improved data foundations and AI-enabled forecasting tools. Learn how finance teams are evolving from traditional planning processes to more dynamic, data-driven approaches that improve visibility, support strategic decision-making and help organizations respond to uncertainty with greater confidence and speed.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Evaluate opportunities to strengthen data quality, governance and reporting capabilities that support finance transformation and AI adoption.
