CFO Roundtable LATAM

Digital Financial Compliance: Challenges and Trends for Finance Leaders in Latin America

This peer-to-peer roundtable brings together finance leaders from different industries to discuss how they are managing digital financial compliance across Latin America — and how they are turning it from a burden into a strategic advantage.

Latin America is leading the world in digitising financial oversight. Governments across the region are moving nearly every financial interaction between companies and the state onto digital infrastructure: e-invoicing and real-time transaction validation, digital payroll and e-accounting, electronic customs declarations, digital identity and e-signatures, and increasingly rigorous anti-fraud controls. What began as a tax initiative now touches the entire finance function — from order-to-cash and procure-to-pay to treasury, reporting, and audit.

This creates a dual challenge for finance leaders. Requirements differ by country and change constantly, so compliance is never fully “done” — every regulatory update tests processes, ERP integrations, and vendor platforms, and gaps surface in real time rather than at year-end. At the same time, digitisation is an opportunity: organisations that master it gain validated, real-time financial data that strengthens reconciliation, cash flow visibility, and fraud prevention.

In this discussion, participants will share practical experiences and strategies for managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions, absorbing regulatory change without disrupting operations, and leveraging digital compliance data for better financial decision-making.
