Session Title
The New Reporting Reality: Skills and Structures Every Organization Needs Now
Session Description
The scope of enterprise reporting has expanded well beyond traditional financial statements, but most organizations are still using operating models built for a narrower reporting world. This gap is creating growing complexity and risk across the reporting lifecycle. Even without formal integrated or enterprise reporting roles, the accountability is already sitting with financial reporting, SOX/compliance, audit, and other assurance‑focused teams.
This session brings together leaders across these functions to explore how the modern controllership is evolving and what skills professionals need to succeed in this interconnected environment. Panelists will discuss rising disclosure demands, the convergence of financial and nonfinancial data, and how AI and automation can reduce workload while strengthening reporting quality.
Whether you’re in SEC reporting, internal audit, sustainability, or operations, you’ll walk away with practical insight into how roles are shifting and how to prepare your team for what’s next.
Learning Objectives
