Evaluating the Role of Fintech in Transforming Corporate Financial Management Practices

Abstract

This provides sound financial practices in an organizational setting, encompassing control over operations, strategic plans for the long-term period, and direction for improvement. The Fintech-driven advancements that provide risks assessment, fraud detection, financial management, online transaction, personalized investment solution, customer retention strategies, and virtual assistants are taking important roles in transforming the course of financial management. However, the integration of transformative Industry 4.0 technologies, such as IoT, big data, cloud computing, RPA, AI, blockchain, digital twins, and the Metaverse, into financial management practices has received little attention in previous studies. This study assesses the role of these innovations in transforming corporate financial management through a mixed-method approach. Quantitative data was gathered by conducting surveys among financial professionals to determine the adoption rates and impacts of Fintech innovations. In addition, qualitative insights were obtained through expert interviews to identify emerging challenges and opportunities in integrating advanced technologies. Case studies of corporations using Fintech solutions were analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of practical implementations. The findings indicate that these technologies have the potential to improve economic analytics, optimize fraud detection, allow for real-time credit risk management, and support AI/IoT-driven virtual assistants. In this regard, the paper emphasizes the need to embrace Fintech developments in terms of improving service quality, making financial services more accessible, and creating innovative regulatory regimes that promote competition and efficiency in the financial sector.
