Event Description
Internet and digital technologies are transforming our societies, bringing with them an incredible potential for new opportunities, but also new challenges and threats. From industry disruption in online payments for goods and services to peer-to-peer lending among many others, omnipresent connectivity, infinite data and artificial intelligence are transforming every level of the financial services industry. This digital revolution is fundamentally reshaping finance and further work is needed on issues such as how to ensure both convenience and security, fight online fraud and guarantee a sufficient level of data protection.
For the European Commission, it is “time to make the EU's Single Market fit for the digital age”. To translate this into concrete actions, the Commission announced in its Digital Market Strategy 16 actions to be presented by the end of 2016. It recently unveiled new rules related to copyright and also to digital contracts, to tackle the main obstacles to cross-border e-commerce in the EU. These complement previous achievements towards a Digital Single Market, namely the agreements to end roaming charges by June 2017 and strengthening cybersecurity in the EU.
At this timely juncture, ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and Deloitte are delighted to invite you to a lively panel session on Digital Agenda & FinTech: the way forward for finance professionals to hear from and then discuss with experts the impact of the digital revolution on the finance industries and their users.
