Best practices for financial controllers

MANILA, Philippines - The Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP) will hold a special seminar  titled “Best Practices for Financial Controllers” on Jan. 22 & 23, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel in Mandaluyong City.

Some businesses don’t have financial controllers; others do but don’t have a clue or a complete idea about how the controllership function works, while many overlap this vital function with their CFOs. When the controllership function is used properly, it can have the greatest company-wide impact that can boost the profitability of any business. Every business should know how this function really works. 

There is no school for controllership. This seminar is the only best practices program geared to help current and future financial controllers to mold them in their right role to maximize their potential, improve their soft and hard skills, and create real value for the benefit of their business organization. 

The event will feature Mary Jane O. Rosales, CPA, CIA who will share her knowledge and extensive experience having spent most of her career handling finance, controllership and risk management functions in Petron Corporation. She was the president of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in the Philippines in 2008.It will also feature Maida B. Bruce, vice president and group controller of the largest infrastructure company in the Philippines - the Metro Pacific Investment Corporation (MPIC).
