This presentation focuses on four key roles that every financial leader shares: Staying
abreast and aware of the myriad changes in GAAP accounting, the impact on the balance
sheet, correctly financing the organization, and properly paying state and local taxes. We
must be vigilant and current. Many seasoned executives do not properly analyze the
lease-versus-buy decision. GAAP is ever-changing. What are the issues that will impact
our balance sheet? The spotlight is to enhance our financial skills and accounting.
Accounting is always moving forward, just as we should. Otherwise, we may be left
behind.
