Issue

Despite signs of recovery, today’s economic environment remains uncertain. As companies continue to seek growth in developed and rapid growth markets, challenges clearly remain.

You need to continue keeping a close eye on costs and carefully manage cash flow. You also face an increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environment, in which changes to accounting guidance can impact business decision-making. And you need to anticipate the impact of key business decisions on your accounting and financial reporting.

Companies often struggle with effective management oversight, cost pressures and growing regulatory requirements. Many have difficulty monitoring all their methods and controls.
