3RD GHANA CFO SUMMIT
Beyond the Balance Sheet: Reimagining Capital, Risk & Innovation
SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra
Overview
The 3rd Ghana CFO Summit is a premier, invitation-only gathering of Ghana’s most influential finance leaders, designed to explore the evolving role of the Chief Financial Officer in a rapidly changing business environment. Organised by Evoke Impact in partnership with EY, the summit convenes CFOs, finance executives, policymakers, and industry experts for high-level dialogue, strategic insight, and peer-to-peer engagement. As Ghana’s economy shows signs of stability—characterised by easing inflation and a strengthening currency—finance leaders are uniquely positioned to drive transformation, unlock growth, and build resilient organisations. This summit provides the platform to lead that conversation. This year’s Ghana CFO Summit explores how CFOs can rethink capital allocation, strengthen risk intelligence, and harness emerging technologies to unlock new opportunities. As Ghana’s economy stabilises and businesses reposition for growth, the ability to deploy capital with precision, anticipate risk, and invest in transformation has never been more critical. Bringing together leading CFOs, policymakers, and industry experts, the 3rd Ghana CFO Summit provides a high-level platform to exchange insights, challenge conventional thinking, and redefine the future of finance leadership in a rapidly evolving world.
Beyond the Balance Sheet: Reimagining Capital, Risk & Innovation
Today’s CFO is no longer confined to financial reporting and control. They are strategic partners at the heart of decision-making—guiding capital allocation, shaping risk frameworks, and enabling innovation across the enterprise
This year’s theme explores how CFOs can:
- Reimagine capital deployment to drive sustainable growth
- Strengthen risk intelligence in an increasingly complex environment
- Leverage digital technologies and AI to transform finance functions
- Balance cost discipline with long-term investment in innovation and talent
