The airline industry has experienced unparallel turmoil this year. They are not alone. In fact, “Brace! Brace! Brace!” is what many CFOs would have heard at the onset of the crisis. To their credit, CFOs across every sector buckled in. They balanced employee health risks with commercial imperatives. They addressed supply disruptions, eased AR and AP pressures, and reset investor expectations — all while managing liquidity and conserving cash.

Cost centre planning is an important process to control expenses across the enterprise, and to answer the all-important question: what is your organization costing you? Planning expenses for the numerous cost centres across an organization is often a complex and drawn-out process. Most organizations manage this in cumbersome spreadsheets that are inefficient error-prone and not integrated with the organization's strategic financial plans.

The global pandemic has changed commerce fundamentally — a fact confirmed in Visa ’s new Back to Business study. To say that consumers have shifted dramatically toward digital commerce — or that small- to medium-sized businesses ( SMBs ) all over the world have been rapidly pivoting to keep up with them — is almost an understatement. According to the eight-country study, 78 percent of consumers have changed how they pay for things so as to reduce contact in their commerce.

Payments are everyday occurrences for businesses and consumers, and they have been for thousands of years. Transactions once conducted by trading pieces of gold are now accomplished through digital means, with both parties using cards, wire transfers or even smartphone apps to send or receive funds.
