The risk of these errors is typically higher during the adoption of new reporting and accounting standards; embarking on significant business transactions; implementation of new IT/enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems; restructurings, acquisitions, carve-outs and divestitures; and expansion into new markets or new businesses.
