Hackers have recently targeted tax file numbers to lodge fraudulent tax returns, highlighting the urgent need to safeguard personal information against identity theft.
Accounting and compliance obligations isn’t something you can afford to get wrong – the ramifications on a business can be severe.
Fortunately, with the right advice, this scenario can be avoided.
Effective and efficient accounting and reporting is underpinned by the strength of the underlying processes and procedures. Having a robust framework in place will ensure the system is duly followed and adhered to by all relevant parties, and also mitigates potential risk.
Accounting and reporting frameworks should incorporate any actions relating to the recording, analysing and presenting of financial transactions by a business.
The communication of accounting and reporting documentation is also critical to the process. In addition to internal stakeholders such as staff, this information will also be intended for customers, suppliers and other business partners, investors, government agencies and regulators.
Working in partnership with skilled accounting and reporting professionals can assist with embedding the best approach within your business. Experienced accounting specialists will review, develop and manage accounting frameworks that suit the requirements of the business as it grows and evolves.
Further, accounting professionals also have a deep understanding of legislative and policy frameworks which are subject to ongoing change.
