As finance teams embed AI deeper into planning, reporting and decision-making, governance is becoming the main constraint on scale. Reliable data, clear ownership and shared standards influence whether AI accelerates processes or slows them down. How can CFOs integrate governance into operating models so that teams can expand their use of AI without compromising on control or compliance? And as agentic AI takes on more management responsibilities—increasingly coordinating and directing work—can finance leaders trust that their figures remain traceable, explainable and secure?
