Finance Connect: Risk at Scale

50+ finance leaders examined how finance shifts from growth enabler to first line of defence, with trust, governance, and hard questions at the centre.
Overview
Anand Daniel convened finance leaders including Satyakam Naik, Vijay NP, Sandeep Baldava, and Amit Jhunjhunwala to examine how the function changes as companies scale. The room kept returning to three ideas: finance must protect long-term credibility as well as growth, governance failures often begin with small exceptions, and the CFO's cross-functional view carries a responsibility to surface risk early.
