No company can function without an Accounting function or its Accounting professionals. As a foundational element of business, the Accounting department is required to control and stabilize the company’s finances and financial statements. And today’s Accounting experts and leaders do a lot more than simply crunch numbers or calculate tax liabilities. They also carry out a host of other activities that are crucial to a company’s health and survival, such as account analysis, financial statement and operational reviews, internal audits, and capital planning.
