Companies are facing increased strain on their tax accounting and reporting professionals.įinancial restatements, increased regulatory scrutiny over income tax disclosures and account balances, compressed close cycles, as well as new reporting considerations and standards are all significant drivers that underpin the need for organisations to have trained professional accountants supporting and helping to drive their business in this ever increasingly complex environment in which they operate.” We play a very important role in development of businesses, at the micro level, and ultimately economic and social development. McClean said that “If we are going to move Barbados’ SMEs forward, then we must understand the important role that properly qualified accountants play. Hence the added measures of IFRS, ISAs and consolidated financial statement reporting adopted in recent years.
