Controllership functions have developed transformative skill sets during recent challenging accounting initiatives. While Controllership can continue to be a champion with traditional accounting transformations, it also has the opportunity to be a catalyst to drive even bigger strategic organizational changes with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting.
