Knowledge is not synonymous with reliable financial reporting and to the proper management of exposure, but it is a basic ingredient of both. Without knowledge we will not be able to reconcile accounts, comply with regulations, or find a solution in controlling the risks we are taking — unless we stumble on it. Without timely and accurate information, the board, the CEO, and senior management will not be in a position to steer the company towards the right course.
