Making Financial Disclosures Simplified and Streamlined
Field of Study: Accounting
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently reported that it is once again studying the frequency of financial reporting in order to promote a long-term focus among public companies and their investors. Harvey Pitt, the chief executive of Kalorama Partners, reminds us of why, when he served as SEC chairman, he advocated the notion of eliminating quarterly reporting in favor of providing more current informatison to investors and to the SEC.

How Can You Communicate "Trust" in an Age of Crisis?
Field of Study: Management Services
For many enterprises, their reputation may be their most valuable asset. When that reputation comes under attack, protecting and defending it becomes the highest priority for executives and financial managers. But what can you do now so that you will not be fighting an uphill battle when a crisis does occur? Public relations guru Richard Levick returns to our program to advocate for strategic initiatives that you can pursue before a crisis does take place.

Finance Automation: Your Latest Challenge
Field of Study: Management Services
In recent years, new technologies and approaches have already made paper checks obsolete. Yes, finance automation has completely altered the approach you utilize for your accounts payable as well as the way your enterprise interacts with its own customers. Nasser Chanda, chief executive officer of Paymerang, emphasizes how recent innovations can focus your accounts payable and accounts receivable functions on improving cash flow, reducing error and diminishing the risk of fraud.

Recent Accounting Standards May Reduce Your Workload
Field of Study: Accounting
For several years, preparers and auditors have complained about standards "overload," based on the simultaneous release of guidance on high-impact accounting issues from revenue recognition to leases. But Loscalzo Institute's John Fleming finds much to cheer about in several recent "simplification" releases from FASB, including: the elimination of the dreaded "step two" of the goodwill impairment test; and a modified definition to evaluate when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business.
