December 20, 2011 – Atlanta, GA What blind spot has occurred on your balance sheet or in your business asks Gary Patterson, FiscalDoctor®, ERM expert and speaker and author of the forthcoming 2012 book Finding Your Million Dollar Blind Spots: What the CEO Needs to Know and Doesn't: The Why and How To Tell Your CEO".

Rightly or wrongly, too many organizations, their Board of Directors and executive leadership team only devote substantial additional efforts to identify financial and strategic blind spots around fiscal yearend audits. Consider

• How rapidly moving changes like moving to the cloud mean assets on your books could now be substantially overstated. Even preliminary movements to the cloud mean the economic value of capitalized IT assets may now have less economic value

• Where your people know asset values have softened and yet have not been willing to step forward to tell you.

• Where your people know assets need reallocation to meet key results for next year and are afraid to be the bearer of bad news.

How comfortable are you that you would not have to say yes to one or more of these type issues?

• Current asset values now may have a questionable economic value.

• The company would be better off selling certain assets at a loss to free up cash for more promising opportunities.

• Someone in your organization has painted an overly optimistic picture of the company to a customer, vendor, or financing source.
