Data, reporting and reality: What finance transformation really takes

Modern finance transformation is about far more than replacing systems, it’s about giving organisations the data, insight, and agility they need to make better decisions and drive sustainable growth.

In this session, Helga Edwards, Chief Financial Officer at the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), will share practical lessons from leading transformation across complex organisations. Helga will explore what it takes to break down silos, modernise finance operations, and deliver meaningful change while balancing day-to-day operational demands.

From improving reporting and automation to strengthening collaboration and stakeholder alignment, this session will examine how finance leaders can navigate common transformation challenges and reposition finance as a strategic driver of organisational performance.
