Evolving business demands and the dynamic global trends call for continued accurate monitoring and reporting of business performance. These developments coupled with the rapid changes in the standard setting environment have created many challenges to preparers and users of financial statements. The post covid-19 pandemic period has equally created more complexity due to the uncertainties created across businesses because of the impact of the pandemic on businesses.
