A strategic issue for finance departments
Managing financial performance is as critical as it is difficult to maintain effectively over time. The pain points of finance departments often revolve around the key performance indicators (KPIs) to be monitored.
It is not uncommon for companies to limit their performance indicators to financial elements such as revenues, EBITDA or cash flow. These measures, which are crucial for assessing financial health, are not always understood or accepted by employees because they are not sufficiently close to the realities experienced on the ground.
Collecting the accounting and financial data needed to manage a group's performance is sometimes a real chore. Especially when the data is collected by structures based in different countries, with heterogeneous methods and formats - or even, in the worst case, data entry errors...
Once the laborious data collection stage is over, the phase - sometimes dreaded - of information processing begins. The data structuring requirements are such that management controllers sometimes spend more time on this than on financial performance analysis... which remains one of their most strategic missions.
In financial communication, the presentation of data is a key point. It facilitates the reading of reports, partly conditions their comprehension and contributes to the company's brand image. Groups with a certain reputation cannot be satisfied with a sloppy financial presentation.
Due to a lack of agility, groups of a certain size sometimes find themselves slowed down in their decision making, faced with a real inability to adapt quickly to the market or to seize emerging opportunities.
