Financial Governance: Resistance is futile!

Financial governance may still be a controversial subject in some boardrooms, but in the wake of recent accounting scandals and the affect that the financial crisis continues to have on the global business community it’s an aspect of modern corporate life that is here to stay. Indeed, the impact of this type of oversight has altered the role of the CFO dramatically in the last ten years as finance teams come under growing internal and external pressure to prevent financial irregularities within the enterprise as well as increasing the transparency and reliability of financial processes.

Strategic Planning: Moving it out of the boardroom

As the dictionary definition implies, strategy is derived from the ancient Greek word for military leadership and planning. However, a brief analysis of strategic planning processes suggests that if business is war many organisations have little clue as to who they are fighting, what they are fighting for or why they are even fighting in the first place Research has shown that companies that execute their strategies consistently deliver higher levels of shareholder value and remain in the top performing tiers of their markets, yet as Kaplan and Norton note, less than 5% of the typical workforce can articulate their company’s strategy.

The Budget: A necessary evil?

Few people enjoy the budgeting process. It can be one of the most problematic, complex and tedious aspects of the business planning cycle. Research has shown that over 50% of companies that use traditional budgeting tools and methods are unhappy with the process and the resulting plan. In most cases the reasons for this widespread discontent can be traced back to two key issues: A poor budgeting process and inappropriate tools.

Getting out from beneath the sheets

Finance teams love Excel.They're easy to use, quick to set up and simple to distribute. They allow staff not versed in Information Technology to create and maintain simple business models and share them with their colleagues. It's ironic then, that the very flexibility and openness that make spreadsheets ideal as personal productivity tools undermine their suitability for corporate budgeting and reporting.

Cash flow and CPM: Capital Punishment!

In today's economic environment finance functions are under more pressure than ever to unlock the cash in their collection processes. However, business structures and supplier relationships are more complex than they have ever been. Globalised corporate infrastructure and acquisition programmes mean that finance functions are often formed of poorly integrated fiefdoms or lack good crossfunctional connections to the revenue generating parts of the business. Why is cash-flow so often an afterthought to CPM?

Financial Consolidation: Buy an extra week each month

A recent survey by BPM International indicates that the majority of the top 25 best performing finance departments use financial consolidation and reporting applications to manage their corporate reporting cycle. Since this is the first link in a chain that connects the daily activities of the business to the execution of its strategy such an approach has significant benefits. For example, the same survey showed that while the average finance team took around two weeks to close the books, top performing finance teams completed it in just one week or less.

The Last Mile of Finance

Today's corporate environment is a demanding road race where only the leanest and the fittest enterprises reach the highest level of performance. The process of publishing financial results to the market and to statutory bodies is one that is becoming increasingly complex and where the significant logistical challenges of corporate disclosure are complicated by emerging regulatory challenges such as the recent requirement for UK companies to report to the HMRC using iXBRL.
