For most companies, the responsibility to comply with the twists and turns of financial reporting obligations is an ever increasing, and sometimes dizzying drain on a finance team’s time and resources.
Regulators and standard setters, still reeling from the public outcry over the financial crisis, are introducing a number of new standards for companies to implement. At the same time they are threatening regulatory challenge for non-compliance. Combined with the intensifying complexity of company business models, the challenge of not meeting reporting deadlines is a real issue.
Stakeholders and boards are demanding more and more from their finance departments; transparency of disclosure; alternative performance measures; and financial reporting that is ahead of competitors. This is now an expectation rather than a ‘nice to have’. For CFOs and FDs, an understanding of upcoming financial reporting changes is key to ensuring credibility with boards and auditors.
Finding and retaining talent to get up to speed on every financial reporting issue is challenging and an unjustifiable expense if you don’t necessarily need the expertise at all times.
