Predictions vs Reality: Deloitte and BlackLine on the State of APAC Finance

As organisations navigate a complex growth environment, the role of the finance leader has fundamentally expanded to drive enterprise strategy, cost optimisation, and technology-fueled teams. Deloitte's inaugural Finance Trends 2026 report, which surveyed over 1,300 global finance leaders, reveals that today's forward-looking CFOs are thinking, operating, and hiring differently to capture new value.

Join Ho Kok Yong, CFO Program Leader at Deloitte Asia Pacific, and Mike Goldsworthy, Director of Solution Advisory from BlackLine as they unpack these core trends across key APAC markets—including Australia, Singapore, and South Asia.

Learning Outcomes:

• Explore how leading finance teams are successfully restructuring their teams to balance autonomy with robust governance.

• Examine the strategic intersection of technology and human capability, focusing on how APAC organisations can navigate digital talent shortages and foster a culture of continuous learning.

• Understand BlackLine’s strategic reflections on these 2026 predictions, providing a clear future outlook on leveraging agentic financial operations to drive enterprise growth.
