What you’ll take away: -Why this regulatory shift feels different from past cycles, and what’s driving it -How companies can plan for regulatory change without a crystal ball -The role of cross-functional alignment in staying ready for the next swing -Why materiality and disclosure quality now matter more than compliance box-checking -The three questions every business leader should be asking about their data 00:00 Introduction: The Evolving Regulatory Environment 00:32 Impact on Corporate Strategy and Planning 01:01 The Regulatory Pendulum: Intensity vs. Change 01:13 The SEC: 4 Years Ago vs. Today 01:43 Why is This Happening Globally? 02:26 Building a Scaffolding for Future Changes 03:02 Top 3 Things Leaders Need to Consider Now Subscribe to On the Clock for new episodes that cut through complexity in three minutes or less. #OnTheClock #Workiva #RegulatoryCompliance #Finance #Sustainability #CSRD #ESG #FinanceLeadership » Subscribe to Workiva: https://www.youtube.com/@Workiva Workiva Inc.
