ABSTRACT We analyze the evolution of management consulting in the field of human resources (HR) for the past 20 years in the transitional economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Our framework for HR consultancy is based on extensive professional experience in the region, several sets of multiyear surveys, and a review of the literature. We focus on the evolving HR theory and the current HR practice in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. Our paper relies on three major sets of multiyear surveys, conducted by the authors’ direct or indirect involvement. Special attention is paid to HR consulting in multinational firms and public sector organizations.

Today’s corporate General Counsel (GC) faces multiple challenges: a heightened regulatory environment, mass globalisation of business, and acceleration of technology advancements. This is resulting in increased complexity and demand from the business which is creating an unsustainable workload for existing in-house legal departments. The current business landscape creates a compelling reason for legal departments to rethink their operating model, achieve greater efficiencies and increase the value they deliver back to the business. This paper is intended to present GCs with a variety of opportunities for transforming their operating model to a desired state.

The first is client demand for business outcomes at speed. While not exclusive to change management, this force is focusing providers’ attention on how to execute change that achieves measurable impact and value, while building an organizational change capability. There are implications for each phase of the consulting process (discover-design-deliver) whether the client issue is specific to a discrete change challenge or an enterprise transformation. The second force is the increasing influence of social business models in organization design. As companies transition from vertically-integrated hierarchies to networked ecosystems, a social system for change becomes both relevant and critical.

Page 1 of 7 Consulting Services CS Section STATEMENT ON STANDARDS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES Statements on Standards for Consulting Services are issued by the AICPA Management Consulting Services Executive Committee, the senior technical committee of the Institute designated to issue pronouncements in connection with consulting services. Council has designated the AICPA Management Consulting Services Executive Committee as a body to establish professional standards under the “Compliance with Standards Rule” (ET sec. 1.310.001) of the Institute's Code of Professional Conduct (code).

CS Section 100 Consulting Services: Definitions and Standards Source: Statement on Standards for Consulting Services No. 1 Effective for engagements accepted on or after January 1, 1992, unless otherwise indicated. Introduction .01 Consulting services that CPAs provided to their clients have evolved from advice on accounting- related matters to a wide range of services involving diverse technical disciplines, industry knowledge, and consulting skills. Most practitioners, including those who provide audit and tax services, also provide business and management consulting services to their clients. .02 Consulting services differ fundamentally from the CPA's function of attesting to the assertions of other parties. In an attest service, the practitioner expresses a conclusion about the reliability of a written assertion that is the responsibility of another party, the asserter. In a consulting service, the practitioner develops the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented. The nature and scope of work is determined solely by the agreement between the practitioner and the client.
