The document discusses a panel on finance-IT alignment between CFOs and CIOs. It includes charts showing that while CFOs and CIOs see eye-to-eye on some finance management priorities, there is a lack of synchronicity in perceiving finance management system effectiveness. The panel will discuss this complicated relationship between finance and IT and how the innovation cycle is accelerating with four panelists representing organizations in consulting, software, and financial services.
