Overview
Most key information flows pass through the finance function. Yet reporting by finance is primarily directed towards financial outcomes (representing a snapshot in time) rather than non-financial business drivers of those outcomes along with trends, causal factors and recommended remedial actions. Effective management decisions can only be taken, not as a “kneejerk” reaction to the financial outcomes, but, by understanding and managing the non-financial drivers of them. This course looks at how the finance function can add huge value through more intelligent measurement and reporting.
