About The Conference

The Conference of African Chief Financial Officers (CACFO) offers a fresh and unique platform for African CFOs to gather and reflect on the peculiar but shared challenges confronting their work as apex managers of the financial portfolios of companies on the continent and beyond.

In the wake of new challenges presented by the recent global pandemic, coupled with ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties, the work of the CFO has been thrown into sharper focus like never before thereby compelling a nuanced review of the subjects affecting CFOs as a niche community of officers leading the financial management of the African corporation.

Structured to reflect the diversity and spectrum of trending themes affecting the work of the contemporary CFO, CACFO will dive into such topics as Sustainable Financing and ESG, AfCFTA & Trade Finance, implications and opportunities of AI in African Project Finance, Risks and Economy Issues in Post Pandemic Africa, Credit & Liquidity challenges in African Corporate Finance, Corporate governance and the work of the CFO, etc.
