Escalating Risk
The accounting and finance profession is currently being challenged to master a risk and regulatory environment that is more dynamic than it has been at any point since 1933. In the last 80 years, the concepts of fair financial reporting, investor protection, and sound corporate governance have evolved to a place where the profession is now charged with maintaining compliance with a body of rules and regulations more complex than ever before.
Investor skepticism and the issuance of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has reinforced the necessity for corporate governance in mitigating the risk of fraudulent financial reporting and asset misappropriation.
Meanwhile the globalization of the capital markets and boost in merger and acquisition activity continue to pressure regulators for business friendly rules that also serve to protect the interests of investors. For the finance officer, these market dynamics translate to a risk and regulatory environment that represents a critical business challenge and in some cases a struggle for basic survival.
