Accounting is a core function in every business. Organizations need accounting teams to track revenue and expenses, evaluate financial performance, create budgets and financial projections, and maintain compliance. Skilled accountants provide up-to-date financial information to support decision-making. Unfortunately, the word “accounting” is often followed by the word “scandal,” especially given examples such as Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Hertz, Lehman Brothers, and Bernie Madoff.

Banks are one of the most heavily regulated business sectors, with stiff regulatory compliance obligations and close scrutiny from regulators. As such, managing regulatory compliance has become challenging for banks in recent years. Compliance failures can result in significant fines, reputational damage, bad publicity, and even lawsuits. It’s vital for banks to conduct regular compliance risk assessments to identify, evaluate and mitigate emerging risks.
