PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
One of CFOLC’s most anticipated annual programs, Law School for CFOs, returns in 2027 with timely legal, regulatory, and business guidance designed specifically for today’s finance leaders. As the legal and technology landscape continues to evolve, CFOs and senior executives must stay informed about emerging risks, governance responsibilities, and compliance obligations that directly impact their organizations. This year’s program will explore the expanding role of artificial intelligence in business, including the legalities of AI adoption, governance frameworks, implementation processes, and practical use cases across organizations. Attendees will gain insight into where AI is delivering value, the skepticism and challenges surrounding its use, and strategies for implementing AI responsibly while managing legal, operational, and reputational risks.
The program will also examine fiduciary responsibilities and executive liability, including the growing importance of Professional Employer Organizations (PEPs), fiduciary obligations, and executives’ personal responsibilities in today’s increasingly complex business environment. Additional topics include updating vendor and customer contracts for AI readiness, managing AI use by employees and third parties, and addressing the cybersecurity risks and opportunities associated with AI, including AI- generated code, business email compromise, and next-generation phishing threats. Designed to provide practical, actionable guidance, this must-attend program equips CFOs with the knowledge needed to reduce risk, strengthen governance, and confidently navigate today’s rapidly changing legal and technology landscape.
