10:00 AM Survey Results: The Current State of Multinationals Global Statutory Reporting

Over the last five years, due to the changes in the industry and more recently accelerated by the pandemic, it has become apparent that global businesses are faced with an ever-increasing number of challenges in the preparation of accurate and timely global statutory financial statements. Errors in numbers, inconsistency in disclosures, and time wasted on document management yield a significant risk to global businesses

 

To learn what challenges and priorities are now shaping the future of global statutory reporting, SSON conducted an annual survey of 120 multinational companies to understand where they see their statutory reporting processes heading over the next 12-18 months. 

 

This data-rich session assesses the change that has taken place over the last year and discusses the highlights, identifies gaps or causes of inefficiency, and presents opportunities for improvement.
