SUMMARY:The value of the deal: Controllership’s critical role in M&A
DESCRIPTION:As the business landscape evolves\, companies increasingly focus on driving greater value from mergers and acquisitions (M&A) while continuing to hit synergy targets with more speed and efficiency.

We’ll discuss: \n\n\n\n\nControllership’s responsibility in the integration process (short term vs. long term)\n\n\n\nHow to balance time spent on compliance and value-driven activities\n\n\n\nHow finance can protect and enhance deal outcomes
