While finance and procurement often provide different functions, their work is unquestionably linked. For procurement officials to have the greatest impact, they need to be involved in key financial processes and have input into organization-wide decisions. Similarly, for finance officials, many processes outside of procurement depend on information from procurement to be effective. In this session, speakers will explore how finance and procurement can create a better and more collaborative relationship and drive improved outcomes for both departments. Speakers will explore the link between finance and procurement and the benefits to budgeting, long-term planning, cash flow analysis, debt management, accounting, risk management and more.
