Caturano and Company announced the launch of their 2009 Benchmarking Survey developed to help participants evaluate their year-end processes encompassing close, consolidation, reporting, and more. Participate today to benchmark your company's performance against your competitors and peers.

"Navigating through year-end processes is a daunting task for many organizations," said Dan Wheadon, Director of Consulting at Caturano and Company. "Organizations are faced with closing the year, preparing for audits and reviews, as well as getting ready for tax season. Many companies find that year-end processes require a number of resources to be focused on compliance, and not on operations."

Caturano and Company's first survey released in August 2009 generated survey respondents from a wide spectrum of companies with revenues up to several billion dollars and with employees numbering under five to several thousand. The respondents represented some of the region's leading industries including healthcare (28%), technology (25%), services (16%), and finance & insurance (9%), representing 78% of all participants.

Caturano and Company's performance management team will compile the results and provide participating organizations with a complimentary benchmark report analyzing critical information to assist your organization in enhancing processes related to year-end.

This survey is open to all participants regardless of size or industry; to participate please click here. All data collected in this survey will remain confidential. Participation is open through January 8, 2010.
