The risk agenda: Emerging threats in an AI landscape

Cyber threats are the #1 risk concern for ANZ finance leaders in 2026, with data accuracy and integrity close behind, according to Weel's 2026 CFO Report. These aren't two separate problems. Join us as we dig into where the real exposure sits and what finance teams should be doing about it. Weel and Eftsure will break down the threat landscape, share practical steps to close the gaps, and show you what a defensible finance function looks like in 2026.

What's keeping finance leaders up at night

This session is built on findings from Weel's 2026 CFO Report, a YouGov survey of 200+ CFOs and senior finance leaders across Australia and New Zealand. Cyber threats came out as the #1 risk concern, with data accuracy and integrity close behind. We built this session to give you the tools to address it head on.
