How Accountants Ensure Business Resiliency for the Next Pandemic         

COVID-19 created an unprecedented economic crisis that accountants were called upon to triage and stop continued economic bleeding. Accountants had to help many business owners and colleagues make difficult business decisions that often went well beyond just finance. In this session we’ll take a look at the multi-faceted role that accountants play in economic triage and the building of business resiliency. We’ll explain how core accountant skills like risk management and financial planning & analysis—and their supporting technologies—and our core competencies of ethics and objectivity, play critical roles in driving better business decision-making. 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify risk management skills needed to ensure business resilience
