"More than Just Data-Analytics" with Pieter de Wit of Afrimat Ltd (Cape Town, RSA).

"Financial figures are the results of decisions, and you need to
be involved in the decisions if you want to influence the
financial figures".


 


Data is vital. So vital that, when there's no data
network infrastructure where your business is based, you have to
get it built yourself. This relies on relationships, partnering
with mobile phone companies and local government to get it done.
Cape Town-based Pieter de Wit is CFO of Afrimat South Africa, a
leading black-empowered open pit mining company providing
industrial minerals and construction materials. He spoke to AICPA
& CIMA's Kyle Hannan shortly before presenting at the late
2018 AICPA 'Finance Transformation' conference in
Johannesburg.
