  • The biggest risk is not taking any risk … In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks," What Mark Zuckerberg stated throws light on the fact that risk and business are inseparable. While there are risks that a business deliberately takes to see what's beyond their boundaries, there are many other kinds of challenges, risks and threats that a business encounters without a prior notice. In an era where IT acts as a spine for most business organizations, the advent of mobile, social and cloud technologies has extended the business outside corporate firewalls, creating, in effect, "shadow" IT department. Thus, growing regulatory environment, higher business complexity and increased focus on accountability have led enterprises to pursue a broad range of governance, risk and compliance initiatives across their organizations. However, if these initiatives are uncoordinated in an era where risks are interdependent and controls are shared, the results could not be fruitful.

    With the aggressive expansion in the number of organizations across the globe, management of finances and accounts is turning out to be an extremely challenging work. Extended working hours, mismatched financial records and audit nightmares have traditionally been a major cause of concern for the people handling it. From fetching real-time, comprehensive financial and operational reports to cost reduction and budget planning, the finance department of an organization is vast and demands proper preparation.
