S1 / E8 - The future of data in finance - Jaco Van Wyk, CFO of RMB & Markos Davias, CFO of FNB

In this episode we are joined by RMB CFO Jaco Van Wyk and FNB CFO Markos Daviasto explore data in finance. Finance skillsets are evolving, and the Chartered Accountants of the past need to understand some of the core data analytics skillsets going into the future, to get an edge and get ahead in the race. Data architecture is critical, and something that finance departments are not very adept at, instead throwing lots of people into the mix to find solutions in a structured manner for regulations and accounting standards etc. But what is really required is for the flow of data to be managed more thoroughly through systems and processes, allowing many more resources to have access to it. Unstructured data needs to be invested in more, and finance needs to start bridging the gap to yield the benefits, particularly if it can be augmented with client and business data to geta holistic picture of customers.
