CMI and KPMG evening presentation on 19 August The finance function of the future, and indeed of today, must go beyond its business-as-usual financial reporting role to become a provider of intelligent insights that business units can depend on when making strategic decisions, and that’s exactly what organisations are calling for today.

It will feature a presentation by Dulitha Perera, Partner – Risk & Management Consultancy, KPMG in Sri Lanka, followed by an interactive panel discussion. The panel discussion will be moderated by Reyaz Mihular, Managing Partner, KPMG in Sri Lanka joined by an eminent panel of corporate leaders and professionals comprising Nandika Buddhipala, Chief Financial Officer, Commercial Bank of Ceylon, Saiful Islam, Vice President - Finance & Control, Nestlé Lanka PLC, Shiromi Rajendra, Chief Executive Officer, Legato Ltd - MAS Holdings, Dirk Pereira, Chief Executive Officer, Union Assurance PLC, and Rajesh Surana, Vice President, Finance & Controls, Holcim Lanka Ltd.
