For successful businesses, the Accounting department is the operational backbone, delivering insights to help leaders understand where the company stands, what — if any — changes need to be made, and what the past can tell them about the future.

To get to that point, however, accounting leaders need to walk a tightrope between ensuring sound tactics and building a strategic mindset that fosters success. The goal: Achieving Accounting Operational Excellence.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

1. How controllers can achieve a strategic mindset to benefit their teams and the business
2. What resources they need to succeed
3. The key criteria needed to establish Accounting Operational Excellence

The close process is uniquely stressful for the accounting professionals that do the work. It takes the pressure of an inflexible deadline and adds the need for complete accuracy. Even worse, there is the risk of severe business consequences if either factor is missed. Closing the books is such a critical task that even non-accountants know the expression.

Knowing where your business stands financially — in real-time — and reacting rapidly has never been more critical for financial health. With expectations loftier than ever, investing time to restructuring and improving existing processes is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

1. How to optimize existing processes to meet evolving expectations
2. How to collaborate efficiently regardless of physical location
3. How to provide more value to the organization without reallocating resources

The inertia of the status quo is powerful. But what if it was that status quo which created many of your difficulties, but you simply weren’t aware of the fact?

In this eBook we aim to make you aware of the role directories can play in modern businesses and how their proliferation creates difficulties for workforces and customers alike. And finally, how Okta can make change easy by joining or consolidating these directories to create one world, with Universal Directory.

Traditional web applications pre-date modern standards like SAML and OpenID Connect, so they often use legacy authentication methods to grant end users access. With Okta, organizations can protect both on-premise and cloud apps from a single Identity Provider. This white paper describes how web applications that lack modern standard support can be integrated into a cloud-based Identity-as-a-service architecture.

With this guide, we will:

• Review the results of a survey completed in partnership with IDG that shows where the priorities of your peers lie and how Identity and Access Management (IAM) play a part in strong authentication and security.
• Explore things to consider before deploying your MFA solution, like policies and access needs.
• Provide practical advice for people building multi-factor authentication for their applications, based on our observations working with engineering and product teams.
