About the Congress

"DIGITAL MOMENTUM FOR FINANCE AND CONTROLLING"

In the era of digitization, the key factor in the competitiveness of companies is the early recognition of the potential of digitization and the continuous adaptation of the business model. Companies that do not see this need or recognize it too late must take into account the risk of withdrawal or even elimination from the market. The ICV Congress is practical and is a great place for CFOs, CFOs, controllers and financiers, as well as for managers who can see in what direction controlling and finance should develop and what role controllers and financial departments should play in the era of digitalization.

On the one hand, the dynamic development of digital business models, subscription models, servicization, the rapid expansion of online platforms, the sudden emergence of digital start-ups and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), on the other hand, automation, robotization (RPA) and centralization of financial processes in service centers (Shared Services Centers - SSC) is today's reality and a challenge for controllers and financial departments.

Digital Momentum

Digital impetus is also an opportunity to build new teams of the Human + Artificial Intelligence type, which may start to dominate in the near future and quickly gain a competitive advantage not only in professional life, but also in private life.

Flexibility, customization and quick adaptation to new functions and tasks is crucial for the world's financial community. The greatest fear of humanity today is not to lose relevance and to be excluded! This also applies to business and work.

During the 17th ICV POLSKA Congress (CIA 2023) we will talk about the most important current trends in the field of digitization, management and controlling, which have a significant impact on the development of every modern organization. We invite a wide range of CFOs, Financial Directors, controllers, financiers and managers as well as all those interested in the future of business and the future role of controlling and finance in enterprises.

World authorities in the field of management, controlling and finance

During the 17th ICV POLSKA Congress (CIA 2023), Prof. Dr. Rolf Hichert, President of the IBCS Association, creative mind and frequent speaker at international conferences. It will address the topic of International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) and show why standardization in management reporting is important. We will also find out what are the latest trends and challenges facing the management reporting process and in which direction the IBCS Association is conducting its research work on the IBCS standard.

The subject of personnel controlling will be presented by the international expert Dr. Christian Kreuzer. Currently, he is the Managing Director of Advisory Services EY in Vienna with a focus on corporate development. He is also the Managing Director of the Controller Institute. Dr. Christian Kreuzer will share with us his experience in the area of ​​personnel controlling, showing it as a process and will develop related topics of reporting, planning and budgeting as well as automation of personnel controlling.

Standardization and visual optimization in management reporting

Today, analysts, controllers and financiers must process huge amounts of data in a way that enables managers to quickly and correctly formulate the necessary conclusions. Therefore, the problem of report design is becoming more and more important, next to the substantive aspects. In recent times, both practitioners and scientists have devoted a lot of time to developing standards and best practices for designing reports optimized for perception.

Personnel controlling

Work-life balance, changing expectations of employees, the need to shorten the time of transferring competencies to new employees as well as gathering and retaining acquired competencies for the future are undoubtedly important areas on which personnel controlling focuses. On the one hand, the need to plan and monitor employee career paths on a very individualized level, and on the other hand, the desire to anticipate and react in advance encourages organizations to implement modern technologies in the area of ​​personnel controlling.

Sustainability and ESG reporting

Talking about sustainable development in finance today is a necessity, not a minor addition. CFOs and controllers need to start taking this topic seriously. Today, everyone understands the concept of corporate social responsibility, and meeting today's needs, while not depriving future generations of the ability to meet them, and care for the human living environment becomes the highest priority. Moreover, current and upcoming obligations to include ESG topics in reports pose a challenge for many organizations when it comes to understanding and appropriate preparation of input data for reporting.

Digitization

The current situation shows that modern IT tools are needed that allow for quick scenario analysis and effective processing of large data sets. Managers understood the need for comprehensive digitization of the "single source of truth" and ensuring the appropriate quality of master data. All this means that technologies such as: Predictive Analytics (PA), Business Intelligence (BI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) are not a distant future, but today they are a strategic point of interest enterprises.
