The point is to improve the quality of information used by internal decision makers. A best practice in this regard is to embrace what’s called driver-based planning—and that requires that financial data and operational metrics are aligned in the context of performance reporting. Information quality, broken down in this sense, has equal parts of accuracy, freshness, consistency, and accessibility. APQC research indicates that more senior executives working today at large, complex organizations are asking for financial data governance models that ensure performance is accurately measured and tracked consistently across the enterprise. Such an ideal would tend to rule out a heavy reliance on manual data entry and (unmanaged) spreadsheets during the close-to-disclose process.

What’s more, many large companies are burdened by the number of entities that have to be consolidated and the number of secondary systems that have to be tapped (e.g., treasury, tax, fixed assets, and non-FM databases such as those used in sales and marketing). An interesting perspective on this (Figures 2 and Figure 3) comes from Leinani Malig, president of Kauleo Consulting, and Trevor Gillespie, audit partner at Mohler, Nixon & Williams.
- Nirvana - Errors creep in when you have multiple versions of the truth. With so many people changing calculations, and so many different versions, it’s no wonder errors are common. Move all of your hierarches, calculations, data, and security to one place for everyone. It means if there’s an error, there’s only one place to change it. Then give your business users the power to explore the data – drill down, pivot and analyze results, annotate and share insights. Everyone has the same view, and everyone is checking the same data for quality. Goodbye, errors.

Extracting Value from Automation: KPMG Extracting value from automation As most CFOs will attest, one of their greatest challenges is the constant need to balance multiple priorities with limited resources. Recently, CFO attention has moved away from the heavy focus on cost control and frugality, towards supporting the business and enabling strategically-driven growth. This was seen in the 2010 IBM Global CFO Study , in which over 1,900 CFOs and senior finance leaders worldwide ranked ‘providing inputs into enterprise strategy’ as the most important aspect of their role in the near term. The ability to provide inputs into strategy depends on the finance function’s capacity to produce financial and performance data for management, boards and external stakeholders in a timely manner. To support decision- making, it is essential that this information gets to the right users at the right time. The challenge is to improve these activities in the current cost-constrained environment Automated Process & Technology Should… copying pasting Without repaginating when a new page needs inserting into report or budget books…

- A key here is that for dashboards and analysis to be effective it shouldn’t be reliant on IT. It should be in the hands of the business, so with Adaptive Discovery analytics is self-service. Everything from picking time periods – to drilling down – it’s all business user friendly. Most importantly – this helps with adoption, making it easy for everyone to get started and get their own questions answered.

- What’s the company model that will give the strategic, cross-enterprise view that the new finance org needs? Esp in a world where less than half CFOs think they are effective at performance management and 77% think they have a substantial role in gaining insight from data. That model has finance in the center, gathering and synthesizing data from across the org, with tools for perf mgmt and extracting insight from data.
