Rapidly changing regulations, increased scrutiny of company financials, complex, nonrecurring business transactions, and a shortage of experienced finance and accounting professionals, strain the capabilities of many finance organisations. This amplified stress increases an Organisation's exposure to mistakes, lost synergies and the inability to maintain base-level financial processes, and has led to more than 5,200 financial restatements in the United States since 2004. 

The risk of these errors is typically higher during the adoption of new accounting standards; embarking on significant business transactions; implementation of new IT/enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems; restructurings, acquisitions and divestitures; and expansion into new markets or new businesses.
