Retail

Marketing and consumer trends within the retail industry change rapidly, impacting sales and earnings. Economic factors such as fluctuating unemployment and interest rates can also affect the bottom line. The retail industry can also be complex from an operational standpoint, because every company operates, captures and uses financial information differently. That is why when issues arise, it can be challenging to obtain information in a timely manner in order to accurately quantify damages.
