- Finance Leaders Council
Overview
The retail industry is subject to a wide range of federal, state and local statutory and regulatory requirements affecting all aspects of operations, including wage and hour, licensing, environmental, ethical and financial reporting. Leading retailers are increasingly focusing on accounting issues and the challenges associated with overseeing accounting functions, developing financial strategies, and maintaining operational budgets.
RILA's Finance Leaders Council is composed of companies' chief accounting officers and controllers; the finance executives that have primary responsibility for oversight of their company’s budgeting schedules, accounting practices, and financial reporting standards.
Headed by a leadership team made up of RILA members, the Finance Leaders Council provides an opportunity for members to benchmark at an executive level. The Finance Leaders Council's activities include in-person meetings, benchmarking surveys, focused benchmarking calls, and educational webinars.
For more information on RILA's Finance Leaders Council, contact Courtney Brooks, vice president, tax, at courtney.brooks@rila.org.
