WEBINAR

Technology, accounting operations, and compliance are often owned by different teams, but they operate within the same business processes. An ERP system captures the transaction, the accounting function manages and reports it, and the compliance framework determines what must be documented, supported, and retained. 

This panel brings together CohnReznick professionals from ERP, Client Advisory Services (Managed Accounting), and Government Contracting Compliance to explain the overlap among these areas. Through practical examples, the panel will show how decisions made during system selection, implementation, and ongoing operations can strengthen or complicate the organization’s broader operating environment. 

Topics include:

• How ERP design and configuration affect downstream accounting and compliance activities.
• The role of managed accounting in maintaining reliable data and sustainable processes.
• When GovCon requirements should be introduced into system and process decisions.
• Common handoff gaps among system, accounting, and compliance teams.
• How organizations can reduce manual workarounds, duplicate effort, and remediation.
• Practical considerations for building an operating model that can scale.
• Why your reporting and financial schedules need to be robust for all types of audits, C-Level, and 3rd party users.
