From the Paper:

"The outsourcing of finance and accounting services is on the rise. There were many inaccuracies handled when HR and IT started being outsourced which has somewhat been circumvented. The risks that have hindered some HR and IT outsourcing agreements have subsequently impeded finance and accounting outsourcing agreements furthermore. Companies began to modify their existing outsourcing plans due to the uncertain dangers once encountered that are now stable with outsourcing agreements. Outsourcing was once perceived as a cost reduction strategy. Now, companies consider it as a strategy for organizational efficiency and process improvement. In addition, it is sometimes difficult to retain staff in these positions at a single company."
