In this episode of CFO Weekly, Mike DePrisco, President and CEO of IMA (Institute of Management Accountants), joins Megan Weese to explore why AI cost and ROI are increasingly becoming CFO problems, not just technology problems, and how finance leaders can evaluate AI investments, manage pricing uncertainty, and tie adoption to measurable business value. Mike brings more than thirty years of executive leadership experience across professional associations, certification, and higher education, including a decade of leadership roles at the Project Management Institute (PMI), before joining IMA in 2023.

Drawing on IMA's own research into AI adoption among finance professionals, Mike shares why so many CFOs still don't trust their own data, how AI amplifies a broken process instead of fixing it, and why starting small and proving value beats waiting for a perfect deployment. He also unpacks the governance structures forward-thinking finance teams are building around AI and explains how the CFO role is expanding well beyond the traditional scorekeeper function.
