How to
instil effective change management culture
Finance
Directors increasingly act as arbiters of organisational change. Working
closely with CEO to devise change strategy, it is often the CFO and finance

This panel will discuss how they instil change culture throughout their
organisations.

Corporate
culture – an abstract concept for CFOs
A
failure in culture invariably lies at the heart of corporate scandal – from
dodgy accounting figures to fake emissions data and any number of notable
governance failings. But what does a healthy corporate culture look like and
how can it be assessed. What role does CFO and internal audit-type functions
play in its creation and assessment.

Do
companies have a duty to avoid tax?
Attitudes
to aggressive tax planning are changing. The public, investors and stakeholders
expect higher standards of tax compliance and more transparency from large
businesses about the way they approach taxation. But is it the duty of Finance
Directors to minimise tax exposure within the labyrinthine tax system created
by politicians.
This
discussion examines latest attitudes to tax planning and the impact of greater
international harmonisation of tax rules and increased reporting of taxation
policy by large corporates.

Jolyon
Maugham, QC Barrister, Devereux Chambers
