The ANDAF National Forum 2025 brought together senior leaders from Italy's finance, risk, and planning communities to discuss the evolving role of the Controller and the strategic skills required for the future of Planning & Control.
Moderated by Gustavo Troisi, Vice President of ANDAF, the event created a high level platform for dialogue between academia, industry, and the CFO community.
Executives from major organisations such as Enel, Poste Italiane, Leonardo, Edison, A2A, Ferrero, and Fincantieri contributed to the discussions, sharing their perspectives on transformation, risk, sustainability, and the evolution of Planning & Control.
Key Themes of the Forum (in brief):
- The evolving role of the Controller: a shift toward broader strategic responsibility and cross functional influence.
- Budgeting and financial control: new approaches to planning and performance management.
- Risk integration: closer alignment between risk management and Planning & Control.
- Sustainability: its growing weight in corporate strategy and reporting.
