Вопрос 13
Manage risks in a changing world.
Варианты ответов
- Rules, regulations, and economic shifts regularly change the organization’s priorities and its finance function. “Controllers need to constantly reevaluate priorities each year to make sure their function is relevant and nimble enough to stay current with the changing paradigm of their industry or market,” Parrillo said. “It is unreasonable to think that risks for companies will remain static given technology, accounting, legal, and HR shifts that are constantly evolving.”
- This is mainly a CFO responsibility, but controllers are taking on a greater role. The FloQast survey showed that 90% of controllers said they were more engaged now in strategic planning. Controllers, Parrillo said, are now involved more as consultants to the business, gaining intimate operational knowledge of its inner workings instead of focusing solely on the numbers. “You find yourself more involved with the business itself and how it should be run,” he said.
- Shifts in health care law and FASB standards are two of many regulatory changes that affect how finance functions operate, Parrillo said. Controllers have to stay abreast of the compliance requirements that come their way. Previously, CFOs were more compliance-focused. “But now my CFO is working more on the strategic side of the business, being the right hand of the CEO,” Par- rillo said.
