With years of experiences working with hospitality organisation globally, our experts, Mr. Rick Yvanovich - FCMA, CGMA, FCPA (Aust.) and Mr. Pham Hong Thai - Deputy General Director, TRG International shared their viewpoints and knowledge about the new concept for CFOs and top managers in Hospitality industry. The main point that was emphasised during the event is that, CFOs nowadays is not only responsible to financial management but also to the decision-making process of the organisation. Nonetheless, as a common practice, not just CFOs who need to make decisions but all managers within the organisation do. Thus, it is important to be able to get the information they need, before they need it by leveraging new technologies. Such that, CFOs and top managers nowadays have all the technologies they need to help them overcome financial challenges and improve their hotel management and performance process.


This seminar also carries one CPD hour for people who have CPD requirements such as CIMA, CPA, ACCA and CGMA and networking session for the audiences to meet and discuss with peers, seniors and expert in the Hospitality industry.
