Understanding your issues
Does your financial institution lack internal subject matter expertise to ensure your accounting complies with the requirements of the federal financial regulatory agencies (the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve and/or National Credit Union Administration), SEC, FASB and/or IASB? Do you need someone who can provide strategic technical advice for a dynamic transaction such as an acquisition, IPO or securitization? Are regulators or others asking you to improve your allowance for loan and lease losses methodology or fair value measurement process? Are you finding it difficult to focus on the day-to-day operations of your financial institution, while keeping up with how the rapidly changing regulatory and accounting environment will impact your strategic business decisions and financial reporting?
