What EY teams can do for you

Finance leaders, including CFOs, financial controllers and treasurers, are facing increasing demand from stakeholders to provide trusted and increasingly transparent financial and nonfinancial reporting to communicate their organization’s progress against strategic priorities and the creation of long-term, sustainable value.

Finance teams continue to respond to evolving financial reporting standard and regulatory changes from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other local standard setting authorities. At the same time, organizations are looking to finance leaders to play an increasingly strategic role, collaborating across their organizations and supporting operational decision-making.

Organizations and finance leaders should understand and assess the impact of these changes across their businesses and on their performance, as well as the direct impact it could have on the finance function and access to capital. 

Impact assessment includes putting increased effort into:

  • Applying technical accounting knowledge
  • Defining clear and consistent accounting policies and guidelines
  • Innovating processes to leverage new technologies, tools and analytics
  • Building new team skills and capabilities to improve reporting performance
