Staying Ahead of Changes in Accounting

Executive Summary: Changes happen. Sometimes they come quickly and abundantly. Business executives rely on their Finance Teams to be in front of changes, especially when the impact is big. By proactively preparing for GAAP changes, CFOs can position their business for success. Staying informed, collaborating with experts, assessing the impact, and effectively implementing changing standards are essential to maintaining a smooth-running business operation.

In fact, this is a primary requirement for your accounting and finance personnel. And yet, it often goes unspoken and is seldom included in job descriptions and KSA’s (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) for your accounting team. Additionally, there are a ton of professional restrictions that can get in the way of making this a priority, like ongoing time constraints, urgent needs, and special projects.
