Asean Finance Executive Forum 2026

Reporting reimagined: building the finance function of the future

As finance functions evolve in an increasingly complex business environment, modern reporting must transcend traditional compliance-driven outputs to deliver real strategic value. This event explores the essential elements of financial reporting transformation — from data foundations to people capabilities — helping finance leaders rethink how reporting drives decision-making.

The EY DNA of the Financial Controller study reveals that finance functions are at an inflection point — 86% of financial controllers expect their roles to change significantly in the next five years, with many anticipating the need for entirely new and unfamiliar skills. At the same time, 88% of controllers are already using data to generate strategic insights, underscoring the rising importance of data-centric reporting models.

This session will explore the core elements that underpin reporting transformation:

• Redesigning the chart of accounts as the bedrock of enterprise reporting to strengthen clarity, comparability and consistency in reporting
• Optimizing the Finance Target Operating Model (FTOM) to enable reporting structures to flow seamlessly through the organization
• Streamlining data from source to report to support reporting transformation
• Leveraging enterprise performance management (EPM) systems to help drive agile, insight-rich reporting
• Developing evolving skill sets required of modern finance professionals to build future-ready teams

Speakers:

• Ronald Wong, EY Asean and Singapore Financial Accounting Advisory Services Leader; Partner, Assurance, Ernst & Young LLP
• Adele Liew, Financial Accounting Advisory Services Partner, Ernst & Young LLP
