Episode Description

The buzz: No more green eyeshade! Finance departments typically had to wait until period-end – month, quarter, year – for data-compilation-intensive financial reports .Strategic business decisions had to rely on a rear-view mirror. Now technology allows companies from start-ups to huge enterprises to integrate closing tasks, processes and systems with core ERP and accounting environments for a business snapshot at any time. Is your company ready to see the light? The experts speak. Robert D. Kugel, Ventana Research: “There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all. Yet our tools—especially our accounting concepts and data—all focus on efficiency” (Peter Drucker). Suzanne Roelofs, EY: “I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven’t done” (Lucille Ball). Jeff Hattendorf, Macrospect: “Do… or do not. There is no try” (Yoda, Star Wars V).Join us for Continuous Accounting: An End to Rear-View Reporting.
