Background

In the volatile macroeconomic environment and AI-driven disruptive technological landscape, the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is undergoing a fundamental shift from being a ‘custodian of financial records’ to becoming a strategic partner to the CEO and the Board to navigate a complex and competitive environment for long-term value creations. The Regulated Entities (REs) like Banks, NBFCs and FIs are also continuously exposed to adverse impacts of inflation, rising interest rates, currency-volatility and shifting consumer preference from savings to investments. In this backdrop, the CFOs need to do a lot of tight-rope walking while managing balance sheets and ensuring long-term sustainability of their revenue streams. Regulators like RBI, SEBI, IRDA have repeatedly stressed on the need for a robust, transparent, ethical, ITresilient and auditable governance framework in the RE’s Treasury Operations to preserve financial stability and to ensure consumer protection. The impact of transitioning to an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) framework along with the need to comply with the DPDP Act, have also added another layer of complexity to CFO’s role.
