CFO's view on Bangchak group new era

This Executive Talk was honored by Ms. Phatpuree Chinkulkitnivat, Senior Executive Vice President, Accounting and Finance (CFO). Ms. Phatpuree or Khun Toey was formerly CFO at BCPG Public Company Limited, a flagship in the power generation business of Bangchak Group, and has been appointed as CFO of Bangchak Group since 1 October 2022. Let’s congratulate and give a warm welcome to Khun Toey.

You have a long experience in management and has worked with Bangchak Group for quite long, could you please share us about the challenge in Bangchak group accounting and finance management?

In terms of financial accounting management, no matter which company you are in, most issues should be similar. Normally, the accounting and finance department would relate to a lot of information about the company. How the information would be most favorably utilized for the company’s direction and precise decision-making is the key challenge. For comparison, when living in a small house as a subsidiary, everyone would together help to build a house and push it forward as quickly as possible, and when there is enough time, we would come back and strengthen the house's foundation. Now working with a well-established big house such as Bangchak, the bigger house where all structures and systems are all set. The challenge would be how to utilize such systems and adopt the automation to the fullest, and extend support to our subsidiaries. Staff’s skill improvement is as well important.
