Globalization 2.0 becomes the new stage of global market integration, where trade protectionism and geopolitical uncertainty force companies to make profound changes in their strategies. In the European economy, grappling with high labor costs, energy prices, and regulatory pressures, including ESG compliance, adapting to these trends is crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the global market.
AI is increasingly making its mark in reporting and data analysis processes, transforming the traditional role of financial departments. When implemented correctly, it can bring significant cost savings and greatly enhance operational efficiency. At the same time, it raises questions about data security and the competencies needed to effectively manage new technologies.
Growing ESG reporting requirements force financial departments to introduce additional, often costly procedures. Proponents argue that responsible resource management delivers long-term financial and reputational benefits to companies. Critics, however, fear that overly stringent regulations might reduce the competitiveness of European businesses on global markets.
Major corporations on the Old Continent face a host of threats: economic fragility, rising energy prices, and labor costs. As a result, they struggle to compete with global rivals, especially amid geopolitical instability. Many companies are considering drastic cost-cutting measures, but seeking alternative strategies to enhance productivity and organizational flexibility is equally important.
At the 19th ICV POLSKA Congress (CIA 2025), we will discuss the most important current trends, including artificial intelligence in controlling and finance, sustainable controlling and ESG reporting, competitiveness, optimization, and restructuring. We invite CFOs, Financial Directors, Controlling Directors, Chief Accountants, controllers, financial professionals, managers, and anyone interested in the future of business and the evolving role of controlling and finance in enterprises.
Take care of your future—learn how to leverage and tackle emerging trends in finance and controlling. The Congress is tailored for CFOs, Financial Directors, Controlling Directors, controllers, financial professionals, and managers.
