To help companies succeed in this
challenging environment, KPMG LLP
and SeeCommerce jointly offer SeeRisk, an
enterprise performance management (EPM)
solution that allows senior executives to
manage risks and improve performance by
linking key financial indicators directly to
operational performance. The result is an
unmatched ability to identify, understand
and quickly respond to problems, as well
as improved agility under ever-changing
business conditions.
THE MISSING LINK: OPERATIONS DRIVE
FINANCIALS
Today, the pressure for greater accountability,
operating performance, and shareholder
value have clearly raised the bar for
executive management. However, achieving
a higher level of financial and operational
performance and transparency requires you
to close the gaps that traditionally exist
between operational silos. The only way to
achieve this is to correlate and manage the
performance of operational units with key
financial indicators.
With SeeRisk, executives can directly
associate financial metrics to operations,
providing a clear, consistent view of the
financial impact of operational decisions.
To achieve this, SeeRisk enables your
organization to define how much variability
is allowed for any particular performance
metric, such as days sales outstanding (DSO)
by product or service group, cash-to-cash
cycle time, inventory shrinkage, asset
utilization, or any other relevant measure.
With these relationships defined, SeeRisk
keeps your finger on the pulse of the
company’s business functions, enabling you
On the heels of multi-billion corporate accounting scandals, the challenge of
running a public company has never been greater. The rules and risks have
changed dramatically with the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act—the most
far-reaching corporate legislation reform since the New Deal—as well as
unprecedented regulatory scrutiny regarding revenues, expenses, and
accountability. Meanwhile, companies continue to struggle to grow revenues,
reduce costs and expand market share.

SeeRisk combines KPMG’s deep expertise in
operations and finance with SeeCommerce’s
proven performance management technology.
This is an unbeatable combination that
reduces your risks and delivers a demonstable
return-on-investment in the shortest amount
of time possible.
SeeRisk is an integrated solution that
consists of two components: an initial
operations assessment to identify areas of risk
within an organization, and performance
management applications configured to meet
a company’s specific business requirements.
As part of the assessment, SeeRisk examines
three key areas: risk optimization, Sarbanes-
Oxley/SEC compliance, and operating
performance improvement. Following the
analysis, the SeeRisk solution is targeted to
specific business processes, such as cost
reductions and improving general
performance and operational efficiencies.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Together, KPMG and SeeCommerce have the
proven technologies, experience and business
know-how to help organizations reduce risks,
instill disclosure confidence, and respond to
opportunities that add real strategic value.
For more information about how we can
help you align financial and operational
performance, contact John Rittenhouse at
KPMG at 415-438-7017 or visit
www.seecommerce.com.
SeeRisk enables you to
measure and improve
your organization's
operational costs and
financial performance.

coded performance

managers to quickly spot
under-performing areas,

to detect operational glitches long before they become costly problems that threaten the
financial and operational health of the enterprise.
IDENTIFY, UNDERSTAND, AND ACT TO ELIMINATE RISKS
Inventory write-offs, revenue recognition, supplier performance, and other issues have the
potential to wreak havoc on an enterprise’s financial well-being. In addition, diverse
business units can mask the true state of a company’s business health.
However, being alerted to problems is not enough. This is why SeeRisk provides
actionable information that not only allows executives to quickly spot issues and
opportunities, but also enables them to take appropriate action quickly. The result is the
ability to fully grasp the materiality of any operational performance shortfall, eliminate
operational variability and associated risks, and drive accountability throughout the
enterprise.
For example, if a company aggregates its inventory shrinkage at the vendor level, and
sees this metric stray out of defined threshold limits, SeeRisk enables executives to drill
down to determine and fix the root cause of the problem. In this case, if the shrinkage is
vendor-related, the company can work with the relevant supplier to quickly resolve the
issue. In addition, the company can proactively address any quality and subsequent
inventory write-off issues before they become much larger problems.
ONGOING CONFIDENCE AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
SeeRisk not only enables enterprises to address immediate problems and risks, it also helps
drive an ongoing continuous improvement process. With SeeRisk, managers can capture
knowledge about problems, processes and best practices, and share this expertise
throughout the enterprise. The result is the ability to instill confidence and transparency
in all company financial reporting.
This disclosure confidence is supported by an auditable trail of financial information as
required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. SeeRisk can provide a verifiable record of actions
performed as they relate to any operational issue. This permanent record can be used to
document the due diligence taken by an organization to verify the accuracy of the
operational reporting and performance.
