Deloitte China: CFOs urged to take up a bigger role in driving enterprise digital transformation

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 16 December 2022 – Deloitte China CFO Program conducted the second issue of 2022 China CFO Survey in September with the theme “CFO leadership in the age of digital intelligence“. The respondents are CFOs from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR.

Economic statistics to date show that China’s economy is recovering in 2022 despite the impact of a number of negative factors, with GDP in the third quarter increasing by 3.9% year-on-year. Entering the fourth quarter, the gradual optimization of pandemic prevention and control measures has eased concerns over excessive prevention and control, boosting market expectations for a continued recovery.

Deloitte China CFO Program Leading Partner Norman Sze says, ”Respondents were more cautious about the outlook for China’s economy at the time of the survey. However, CFOs still believe China is better positioned than other economies to recover growth, as other major economies are showing signs of a slowdown similar to recessionary levels. Indeed, more than 40% of respondents feel optimistic about China’s economic outlook over the coming year. Recovery from the pandemic has become the major external risk concern for CFOs surveyed. The proportion of respondents concerned about this has surged from 49.0% in the previous survey to 71.9%. The recently announced pandemic prevention and control optimization measures are expected to help ease market concerns in the long-term.”

From an industry perspective, the pandemic and the subsequent economic recovery is the top external risk in all sectors. More than 80% of respondents from the consumer industry, the life sciences and healthcare industry, and the technology, media and telecommunications industry consider post-Covid recovery to be a major concern – an even higher proportion than the overall 71.9%. Supply chain challenges have more impact on the consumer industry, and inflation has a greater impact on the energy, resources and industrial sector. Therefore, respondents in these two industries regard these external risks as the second most worrying, respectively.

The percentage of respondents who consider inability to drive growth to be the most concerning internal risk factor has increased to nearly 60% from under 40% in the previous survey. The second most worrying internal risk factor is cost pressures. In addition, inability to drive growth is a concern for more than 80% of respondents from the consumer industry, the life sciences industry and the medical industry – a high level compared with the overall response.

From the internet to artificial intelligence, digital technology is transforming many aspects of how businesses operate and grow, and digitization is becoming a key pathway to realizing long-term value. As part of this process, the digitization of an enterprise’s finance function plays a major role in building a digitally intelligent enterprise. This CFO Survey assessing enterprises’ progress toward digitization, CFOs’ challenges in driving digitization, and drivers of finance digitization to illustrate the overall development of digitalization.

More than half of the respondents believe that their organizations are making progress in the area of digitization and more than 30% say their organizations have achieved a significant acceleration of progress toward digitization since the year before. In addition, among the respondents, 40.6% rate their company’s level of digitization as on a par with the industry average, and 23.5% consider their company’s level of digitization as above the industry average or leading the industry.The number of enterprises that are embracing transformation in the age of digital intelligence and making substantial progress in this area is growing. However, many believe their digitization journey is still at a preliminary stage. Electronic invoicing is now widely used by finance departments as they make progress toward digitization, although more leading edge technology, such as process mining, data-oriented process analysis, and machine learning, is still being explored.

“As enterprises accelerate the digitization of the finance function, CFOs are encountering some challenges in driving this transformation. Roughly half of respondents view siloed information systems and databases within their organizations as the biggest challenge in driving digitization. At the same time, CFOs are also facing challenges arising from inadequate awareness and a lack of skilled digital talent among employees.” Norman Sze adds, “In the face of a new wave of technological and industrial revolution, enterprises need to accelerate accounting digitalization and the expansion of their accounting functions. When it comes to digitization, finance departments need to adopt innovative technology to further automate processes and embrace a new mindset that drives digital transformation across multiple areas – from institutional processes to organization-wide talent and information systems.”

To this end, Deloitte suggest enterprises establish integrated systems for their finance functions – comprising business finance, operational finance, and finance expertise – and clearly define these functions. When supported by a sound, integrated system of processes and procedures, organization and talent, and information management, finance departments can be clear about their priorities and focus on implementing digitization.

  • Operational finance: Orders, procurement, payments and receipts, account closure and consolidation, and other bookkeeping matters. Transformation should focus on achieving a high level of process automation and using multiple technologies to streamline processes and realize automated finance control.
  • Business finance: Performance management, planning and budgeting, reporting and analysis, and decision-making support. Transformation should focus on generating data-driven business insights that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and on creating a platform with strong analytics capability that provides professional finance advice to inform business decision-making and establishes itself as a partner for internal stakeholders.
  • Finance expertise: Expertise in tax, funding, professional accounting, external relations, and risk compliance. Transformation should build a forward-looking expert team to provide insights and strategic advice across different areas of finance, which drives internal process and system enhancement to continuously empower other operational and business finance functions.


About the CFO Survey
Since 2011, Deloitte has conducted CFO surveys in different markets, collecting and tracking CFOs’ perspectives on major issues such as the business environment, company strategy, and financial priorities, to provide financial decision-makers with relevant insights. Data collection for the Deloitte China CFO Program’s 2022 2nd CFO Survey was completed in September 2022. The respondents were CFOs from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR, of which 53.1% work in privately-owned enterprises, 28.1% work in foreign or multinational enterprises, and 15.6% work in state-owned enterprises. The respondents working in companies across a wide range of industries, including energy, resources, and industrials; financial services; technology, media, and telecommunications; consumer; life sciences and healthcare; and government and public services, with annual revenue ranging from less than RMB1 billion to more than RMB40 billion.

Premium Malaysian pet-hailing app JoJo Pets Taxi aims for nationwide expansion and 100% Year-Over-Year growth for the coming 2023.

Founder K.C. Seow said, “As a full-time working fur parent to a husky and a ragdoll, I have personally encountered many of the pain points of pet owners, especially pertaining to transportation. My elderly parents do not drive and getting a reliable independent driver was difficult. Moreover, most of the vehicles were not equipped with bio-protection tools. The many frustrating experiences inspired me to offer a comprehensive solution for fur-parenting.”

Presently, JoJo Pets Taxi is available in the Klang Valley, and as of this month, the service has broadened its reach down South to Johor. By the second quarter of 2023, the service will be available up North in Penang.

Seow pointed out, “We are the first platform in Southeast Asia that connect pet owners with pet-related service providers. With the pet-hailing app, pet owners can make an appointment with any pet-related service providers, purchase the services via our JoJo Pets app, and our trained taxi drivers with custom-fitted vehicles for pets will provide the return-trip transportation.”

He added, “We filter the drivers and select only those who are passionate about animals. The drivers would have to undergo a thorough training to qualify. This includes animal behaviour, first aid, and safety. All JoJo Pets taxis are fitted with safety equipment, bio-protection (tools?), and air ventilation systems. In addition, drivers are required to clean the taxi after every trip.”

“Over the years, the perception of pets has evolved from mere companionship to one of a much stronger emotional bond. The reason why we built JoJo Pets app is to provide ease of convenience for pet owners so that they can improve the quality of pet care without worrying about transportation. We at JoJo Pets aim to drive the economy in the pet industry as more and more people open up to the idea of having pets.”

Clinixero, A Diabetes Management Healthcare Brand, Awarded Malaysia Book Of Records For Most Patients In A Virtual Diabetic Programme

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 16 December 2022 – Clinixero, a diabetes management healthcare brand of Sozo Management and Resources Sdn Bhd was recently awarded a certificate by Malaysia Book of Records for having the “Most Patients in a Virtual Diabetic Programme”.

(Centre) Dr Jasmine Chew (Clinixero co-founder), Mr Chiew, and Dr Andrew Chiew (Clinixero founder) receiving the Malaysia Book of Records for having the “Most Patients in a Virtual Diabetic Programme” award. The certificate was given by Madam Lee Pooi Leng (left) and Cik Siti Nurhanim Binti Mohd Noh (right) from Malaysia Records Sdn Bhd.

Dr Andrew Chiew, founder of Clinixero, “During the pandemic, our patients had difficulty coming to our wellness centre. This was when we decided to convert our consultations entire online so that we can reach out to our patients near and far. You can say that we are one of the healthcare providers that adopted tele-consultation very early and entirely. And because of that, we were able to reach out to 934 diabetic patients, from just about 50 patients before the start of pandemic. We are so grateful that Malaysia Book of Records recognized our efforts.”

The award was given at the Sweet Retreatz dinner attended by 40 patients and their family and friends coming from as far as Penang, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore. This is the first time, post-pandemic, that Clinixero and their patients are gathered and meeting onsite for the two-day retreat in Kuala Lumpur where patients share their experiences with each other with regards to the management of their blood sugar. 12 patients were also recognized for their visible improvements after joining the Clinixero programme.

Datuk Michael Lim, 60, who was awarded Best in Blood Sugar Award said, “I have had diabetes since 2001. Over the years, I have spent a lot of money on various methods to manage my sugar level but without success. Before joining the Clinixero Programme, my sugar level was around 8 on average. On an empty stomach, it is around 7 and after meals, it will usually spike up to 9 and above. After the programme, my blood sugar measures at around 5 before food and 6+ after food.”

The winner of Best in Weight Loss Award Henry Kung used to weigh 113kg – and since following the programme, his weight has dropped to 72kg. “I used to eat meals that are high in carbohydrate such as noodles and such. Since switching to the diet prescribed by Clinixero, I have been able to enjoy eating more than ever while still losing weight,” explained the 62-year-old. “I am so happy that managing my diabetes is a process that I can enjoy.”

Kindergarten principal Cherry Tee, 42, was awarded the Transformational Award. She said, “Before joining the programme, I eat six meals a day. And I don’t control what I eat – nasi lemak, fried chicken – you name it, I will eat it! Initially, I was skeptical if I could endure fasting. I made a complete switch in my mindset and now, I have completely changed the way I approach my lifestyle.” Tee added, “My advice to those who are still struggling is that, you have to believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you can do it.”

Dr Jasmine Chiew, co-founder of Clinixero said, “We are very proud of how far our patients have arrived. In addition to following our Clinixero Protocol, a Reversing Diabetes Programme managed by qualified doctors that includes detailed customized meal plans and careful removal of medications, I must attribute the success to their discipline and perseverance in “reversing” Type-2 diabetes.”

“The secret to our success is by treating the root cause of our patient’s problems and not just the symptoms. Our mission is to help 10,000 patients manage their blood sugar, blood pressure, and their weight: hence delaying and preventing any possible complications resulting from diabetes. Diabetes is expected to affect seven million Malaysian adults aged 18 and older by 2025 and this is a major public health risk. We hope to be able to play our part by helping as many patients as we can,” concluded Dr Andrew.
