Managing in a downturn

Issues to consider

The economic downturn affects every part of your business. Issues surrounding liquidity and performance may mean you don’t have access to ready cash, or you are having trouble collecting on your receivables. Now is the time to focus on your core competencies. You may decide to sell your non-core assets or buy someone else’s. What are implications for acquisitions, divestitures and financing? The current credit crunch also introduces a lot of enterprise risk to an organization, and may even increase the likelihood of fraud. How do you obtain an accurate valuation of your assets and investments, which are likely fluctuating a great deal? What are the effects on taxation, tax planning and financial reporting?
