The Future of Financial Reporting and Standards - FFR
The Future of Financial Reporting and Standards - FFR
Focuses on the changing directions of financial and management reporting for Chief Financial Officers in a dynamic environment. In response to changing citizen and shareholder expectations, financial statement reporting, budgetary reporting, cost reporting, and cash reporting must be accurate, transparent, and accountable, and result in “clean” audit opinions. These new reporting expectations and changing accounting standards, require new relationships among federal, state, and local governments, and government contractors, as well as enhanced reporting to internal constituents of the CFO, including program managers and the organizational head.
