In this episode of Reshaping Finance, Peter Spence, Associate Technical Director, Research & Development at AICPA & CIMA, is joined by Lukas Deutsch, Chief Controlling Officer at SAP, to explore how AI‑enabled enterprise systems are fundamentally reshaping how finance operates.
Together, they challenge the traditional view of finance as a set of discrete functions, unpacking the shift towards end‑to‑end, process‑driven models where planning, execution, and performance are continuously connected. The conversation looks at what it means when AI is embedded directly into core business processes, not as an add‑on, but as part of how systems run.
They also explore how this is redefining the foundations of finance: from static reporting cycles to continuous decision-making, from standalone activities to integrated value flows, and from control layers to governance and trust built directly into systems.
Whether you're rethinking operating models, navigating ERP and EPM transformation, or considering what "AI‑enabled finance" really looks like in practice, this episode offers a grounded perspective on where the profession is heading, and what needs to change to get there.

In this episode of Reshaping Finance, we explore how sustainability, governance, and culture are reshaping the accounting profession from the inside out.
Rebecca McCaffrey, Associate Technical Director Research and Development at AICPA & CIMA, is joined by Collins Ntim, President of the British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA), Professor at University of Southampton, qualified chartered accountant (CPA) and Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences (FAcSS), and Joan Ballantine, BAFA Vice President, Professor at Ulster University Business School, to unpack how finance is evolving beyond reporting into a driver of strategic value and accountability.

The conversation also highlights the growing influence of technology and AI in shifting finance professionals towards higher‑value, decision‑focused work.

In this episode of Reshaping Finance, we dive into the expanding role of today's CFO - a role being reshaped by AI, organisational complexity, and the growing expectation to create value far beyond the balance sheet.
Kelly Lorenz, Associate Director of Business Growth & Engagement at AICPA & CIMA, sits down with Madeline Ling, CFO of The Granite Group, to explore what it really takes to lead through "the squeeze" facing modern finance leaders.
Madeline shares why the mounting pressure from boards, CEOs, and teams can actually be a catalyst for greater influence, and how CFOs can turn disruption into opportunity. They discuss the mindset shift required to move from number‑reporting to value‑shaping, the rising importance of self‑investment, and why carving out time for your own development is now a strategic necessity.
The conversation also highlights the power of peer‑to‑peer learning through the Future of Finance Summit, where finance leaders collaborate on practical approaches to AI adoption, capability building, and redefining value creation across the enterprise.
Whether you're navigating AI, leading transformation, or simply trying to stay ahead of what's next, this episode offers a candid look at how CFOs can own the squeeze, and lead their organisations with confidence in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity and what it means for finance leaders navigating cloud native systems, AI driven disruption, and increasingly complex risk environments. Chair Ken Witt, Associate Technical Director of Research & Development at AICPA & CIMA, is joined by Keven Knight, CEO of Talion; Fabio Colombo, Global Financial Services Cybersecurity Leader at Accenture; and James Dempsey, Managing Director at the IAPP Cybersecurity Law Centre and Senior Policy Advisor at Stanford.
The panel examines why cybersecurity can no longer be viewed as a purely technical issue and how finance leaders are becoming central to risk acceptance, investment decisions, and organisational resilience. They discuss the rising cost and complexity of cyber incidents, the shift from Capex to Opex in security spending, and the growing pressure for real time monitoring across increasingly blurred organisational perimeters.
The conversation also delves into the dual role of AI – both as a powerful accelerator for attackers and a transformative tool for defenders. The guests unpack the risks of shadow AI, the governance challenges of agentic systems capable of financial transactions, and the looming implications of quantum computing for encryption and long term data security. Together, they outline what it will take for organisations to strengthen controls, build resilience, and stay ahead of emerging threats without slowing productivity or innovation.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden financial, environmental, and social costs of food waste — a global issue that often goes unmeasured and unreported across retail and supply chains. Dr. Leanne Keddie, Associate Professor of Accounting at the Sprott School of Business, joins chair Dr. Martin Farrar to explore why food waste remains largely invisible in traditional accounting systems and what it will take for finance professionals to drive meaningful change.
Keddie explains how the catch‑all category of "shrink" masks the true scale of waste, why emotional and organisational barriers prevent accurate reporting, and how misaligned systems lead to misaligned decisions. She makes the case for clearer standards, better measurement, and reporting frameworks that bring accountability into the heart of accounting.
The conversation also looks ahead to the transformative potential of AI, blockchain, and circular economy models — from transparent tracking across the food lifecycle to cross‑sector networks that turn waste into new value. Keddie outlines a bold vision for zero food waste, where finance plays a central role in aligning production, demand, and redistribution to build a more sustainable future.

In this episode, we welcome back Didem Un Ates, Founder and CEO of Lotus AI, former Head of Applied Strategy, Data & AI at Microsoft, and former Vice President AI Strategy & Innovation at Schneider Electric. After her hugely popular debut in Episode 1, Didem returns to explore one of the most in‑demand topics requested by our listeners: AI‑driven forecasting and its transformative impact on enterprise finance.

In this episode, Didem shares insights on:

• How to prioritise AI use cases in the finance function, from maturity assessments to opportunity scans and ROI‑driven roadmaps
• Why culture - not data - is the biggest barrier to AI adoption, and how organisations can overcome fear, resistance, and legacy mindsets
• How valuation, modelling, and forecasting have evolved, from spreadsheets and legacy ERPs to intelligent CRMs and continuous, real‑time forecasting
• Key differences between traditional forecasting and AI‑powered approaches, including the ability to process hundreds of variables, integrate unstructured signals, and dramatically improve accuracy
• Common misconceptions finance leaders still hold about AI, from "we need perfect data" to "AI is either magic or useless"
• The future of forecasting in enterprise finance, and why delaying AI adoption is no longer an optionCONNECT
