Finance

Chief Financial Officers need to build a high performing, value-adding finance function that balances three key objectives – maintain control, drive efficiency, and provide insights.

Issue and challenges

Is finance engaged with the business units in driving product, service, sales and other planning investment and profitability modelling?
Does your organization have balanced scorecard measures that have a direct link to operational measures that show achievement of department and organizational objectives?
Is your finance function organized to focus around the three areas of value for the business insight, efficiency and control?
Are you satisfied that your organization’s financial risk management works in substance rather than in form and in a manner whereby risk is continually evaluated for all changes in business circumstances?
