CFO Forum: Future-proofing fund operations - Governance, transparency and scale in investment management

Sydney

Overview

EY, in collaboration with the Australian Investment Council, is pleased to invite you to an in person panel discussion exploring the evolving landscape of investment management. As investor expectations continue to grow, regulatory scrutiny increases, and technology continues to transform the investment management sector, fund managers are assessing how they govern data, enhance transparency over reporting, and scale their operating models.

This session will bring together industry representatives to discuss emerging challenges, share practical experiences, and explore leading practices that are helping investment managers manage their finance operations effectively.

Key discussion topics include:
Fund operations and financial management

  • Understanding the core components of direct and indirect regulatory impacts on private asset managers, including increases in reporting obligations.
  • How asset managers can think about building scale, transparency and reliability into their data governance and reporting.
  • The importance of demonstrating robust valuation governance in securing institutional capital, and how regulations such as ASIC directives and SPS530 Investment Governance are increasing industry expectations.
  • Building in demonstrable governance practices across the investment reporting chain.
