ICV Bulletin | December 2013
Dear Readers!
ControllerPrize 2014
And we have December again… Time of summing-up
what you’ve achieved this year. In your private life and in
your company. What did you learn during this year? From
this months’ experience? And exchanging knowledge with
other controllers and CFOs? What are you proud of? Are
you happy with your choices?
And what has your enterprise achieved? Has your team
come up with some interesting ideas and innovative controlling solutions? If yes, don’t miss the challenge of the
Controller Prize! We wait for interesting projects! You can
read more in the Bulletin and on our home pages. And we
will have the pleasure to invite you to participate in other
ICV competitions soon.
And December is also the time of summing-up for the ICV.
Just this weekend the representatives of ICV management
met in Frankfurt to discuss our successes and our plans.
The 2013 was really fantastic for the Association! We had
some attendance – breaking congresses and conferences
(just think of CIA in Poland in April and ACC in Slovenia in
November). And we have had a new member country:
Bosnia and Herzegovina joined us in June! We are now in
the middle of planning next year’s big ICV international
events. A new interesting event should be a meeting in
Prague.
All our members including the new ones can read an interesting article published in the German Controller Magazin
and translated into English. How does the business look
like on the „insignificant” markets? And are they really so
insignificant?
As in every issue you can also meet one of the Board
members. This time it’s going to be… me. :-) I don’t know
what’s in there yet - I will get to know it with you, from the
Bulletin :-)
Much pleasure while reading!
And for it’s the last issue before Christmas, great time with
your families!
Yours
Dr. Adrianna Lewandowska

management
akademie and CA institute for accounting & finance. Both
are based on the trusted organization and presentation methods of the CA.

Controlling - Creating Future
6. ICV Bulletin | December 2013
ICV Publications
The aim of the ”Ideenwerkstatt” (Dream Factory) of the
ICV is to systematically observe the field of controlling
and recognize major trends. The Dream Factory develops
the “dream cars” - ideas and findings are transformed into
concrete, working products in ICV work groups or other
project groups. The newest issue of the Dream Factory’s
publication is to read on http://www.controllerverein.com/
News.125051.html
The current state of the understanding of controlling and
role of a controller was formulated by the ICV and the IGC
in a policy paper. It’s now available in 11 languages and
the translation works are still on. In English you can read
it
on
http://www.controllerverein.com/
International_Controller_Association_EN.122443.html.
The goal of the project is to formulate the current state of
the understanding of controlling and role of a controller.
Releasing liquidity in your own company is a red-hot
topic. In the recently presented “Guidelines for the sustainable optimization of reserves, receivables and liabilities”, experts from the ICV urgently recommend that controllers dedicate themselves to Working Capital Management. The German publication will be published in English
in March 2014. More: http://www.controllerverein.com/
