Designed for corporate finance executives, it focuses on how cyber threats impact the organization and what leaders can do to protect their people, data, and balance sheet. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how threat actors identify and exploit vulnerabilities, the most common pathways to data loss, and the financial and operational consequences of a breach. In addition, the presentation highlights the role of strong IT governance and internal controls, with real-world examples of how effective technology controls reduce risk across the organization. Emphasis is placed on aligning cybersecurity investments with business objectives, reinforcing accountability, and ensuring protection throughout the organization. While IT teams play a critical role, effective cyber defense requires leadership engagement from across the organization. CFOs and other finance leaders will leave with a clearer understanding of why the risks exist, their role in overseeing risk, strengthening controls, and helping the organization operate securely in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

CFO Corporate Finance Series: Blockchain, Digital Assets & the Tokenization of Finance: What Corporate Finance Leaders Need to Know in 26

*** Use BUNDLE15 to save 15% off when you register for two or more in the Corporate Finance Series *** Blockchain, digital assets, and tokenization have moved from speculative narrative to institutional infrastructure. The GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, established the first federal framework for payment stablecoins. The OCC's 2025 interpretive letters opened crypto custody, network-fee payment, and brokered execution to national banks. The DTCC began a tokenization pilot in December 2025 under SEC no-action relief. Major counterparties — J.P. Morgan, BlackRock, Figure Technologies, Visa, Morgan Stanley — are already operating in this environment. Corporate finance leaders are now being asked questions by their CFOs, audit committees, vendors, and investors that they could safely deflect twelve months ago. This four-hour course equips managerial-level corporate CPAs to engage credibly with that new environment. It is built around three structured hours of finance content followed by one hour of law and regulation. Attendees will leave able to classify digital assets, walk a tokenization proposal through a five-step evaluation framework, articulate the current U.S. regulatory posture, and identify the control questions a corporate finance function must answer before engaging. The material draws on institutional case studies (J.P. Morgan Onyx, Chainlink-powered parametric insurance, BlackRock BUIDL, Figure Technologies, DTCC) and on a decision-oriented framework designed for use the Monday morning after the session.
