# perform risk analysis — Accountant

For an Accountant, 'performing risk analysis' isn’t about predicting market crashes – it’s deeply embedded in ensuring financial statement accuracy and protecting company assets *daily*. This means constantly evaluating risks related to internal controls (are segregation of duties adequate?), fraud (could someone manipulate invoices or expense reports?), compliance (are we meeting tax regulations & reporting deadlines?), and even data security (is sensitive financial information protected from breaches?). A typical task is reviewing journal entries for unusual patterns, assessing the risk of material misstatement in account balances during month-end close, or evaluating the creditworthiness of new customers before extending credit terms. It's about proactively identifying *where things could go wrong* with the numbers.
