Financial Management, Budgeting and Reporting
Challenges
Today, chief financial officers (CFOs) face the challenge of coping with increasingly complex demands on the finance function: providing transparency in external reporting, driving value creation, and facilitating strategic decisions. To successfully meet these demands, CFOs need to create a "world-class" finance function that aligns corporate, financial, and investor strategies. As part of this process, they need to answer some key questions:
- How should I define the role of my finance function?
- How can I best identify and manage strategic, operative, and financial risks, especially in times of crisis?
- How can I build and sustain a world-class finance function with benchmarking processes in each department?
- How do I increase the effectiveness of management reporting to best facilitate strategic decisions?
- How do I install a value-creation system throughout the organization?
