Are you considering to establish a Shared Services Center in the CEE region? What are the challenges you have been facing along your SSC journey? The 2nd Future of Financial Shared Services is here to help you unlock potential strategies in order to get your shared services center a step ahead. Join us in the little big city of Bratislava on November 10 and 11 and enjoy outstanding networking opportunities, an exceptional speakers panel and tailored discussions for mature and 2nd generation SSC and GBS.
Real cases, real-life experiences
Don’t just talk the talk. Walk the walk. In the morning, all attendees will get inspired by real-life experiences from speakers who walked that walk successfully. For instance, Jolien Heylen, Advisor Compliance Solutions from Bureau van Dijk will talk about third-party due-diligence. As identifying beneficial owners can be really challenging, Jolien will elaborate more on how to improve procedures and increase KYC / risk due-diligence effectivity. In addition, Maria Eremina, Head of Shared Service Center from Raiffeisen Bank will present a case study about automation and operational excellence optimization. Do you know how to support the AP process in an SSC on the application level? Ulf Reinhold, Director Sales EMEA from WMD will answer all your questions. His presentation will be about the practical steps you should follow and therefore increase efficiency and effectivity in your AP document processing.
