Making the Right IT Budget Cut In times of economic uncertainty organizations have two fundamental choices: hunker down or strengthen their strategic positions. What is the winning strategy? High performance businesses invest to strengthen their position through mergers and acquisitions, product innovation and market expansion—even in a downturn. They support their efforts by strategically reducing costs to create cash flow. Rather than make arbitrary cost reductions, these winners develop cost management measures. Those responsible for IT budgets can expect to receive mandates from senior executives to cut IT costs as part of an enterprise wide cost-cutting program. Begin establishing ground rules for complying with a cost-cutting mandate.

Why cash flow statements are important
The cash flow statement provides important information about a company's cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. It complements the income statement and balance sheet by showing how changes in balance sheet accounts affect cash flow. The cash flow from operations section indicates whether a company is generating enough cash internally and is a key metric to evaluate sustainability and quality of earnings. The cash flow statement also provides insights into how management is allocating cash flows across investing and financing activities. Key metrics like free cash flow derived from the cash flow statement help assess a company's liquidity and ability to operate over the long run.

Good IT governance provides strategic alignment, visibility of benefits, and efficient control to maximize future cash flows and deliver shareholder value.
Using Portfolio Management to Improve Business Investment
Structured Portfolio Management is very valuable to businesses in maximizing their Return on Investment. Portfolio Management ties investments to strategy to ensure the organization is realizing it's expected benefits and achieving it's strategy.
Chap 7
This document discusses investment centers and methods for measuring assets employed and business unit performance. An investment center compares profit to the assets used to generate that profit. Measuring assets employed and return on investment (ROI) provides information for decision making and motivates managers. ROI is profit divided by assets employed. Economic value added (EVA) measures wealth creation by subtracting a capital charge from net operating profit after taxes. EVA attempts to capture true economic profit by considering the cost of capital.
Performance Management
Performance management includes activities that ensure organizational goals are met efficiently and effectively. An IBM view is that performance data should be transformed into insights to improve decision making and link measures to strategy. There is a growing need for self-service financial performance management applications to give leaders visibility and control as data volumes grow across disconnected systems. Enterprise performance management provides a framework to translate strategy into actions through initiatives that identify opportunities and concerns.

8.1 Responsibility Accounting Concepts
In general, managers should be held accountable for the results of their decisions and business execution. Without accountability based on performance-related feedback, the
business will not perform at its best, and areas in need of improvement may not be iden-
tified on a timely basis. Business feedback is often based on financial results. You have
already seen how budgets and variances are used to help identify areas for improvement.
Because managers are accountable for their decisions, actions, and outcomes, their perfor-
mance measures should align around the department, product, division, or other business
for which they are responsible. In other words, the attribution of responsibility tends to
follow the organizational structure of the business.
Sometimes, a business has a highly dispersed design, with decisions nested with lower
level managers. Other businesses generate decisions only at the upper levels, and
lower level personnel are basically charged with execution of defined actions. Proper
implementation of responsibility accounting concepts stipulates that performance mea-
sures be aligned with the business organization structure. In other words, accountability
should map to responsibility. Proper design of performance measurement systems there-
fore requires that the management accountant carefully consider the organizational struc-
ture. Sometimes performance measures are only appropriate on an aggregated basis, such
as where the organization is structured as a top–down, command-and-control, central-
ized decision-making entity. As lower level managers are given increased authority, so
too should the accountability system be modified to provide more disaggregated perfor-
mance measures. Although quite logical, this presents measurement challenges.

insightful-controllership-brochure_II
The document discusses insightful controllership, which aims to provide strategic insight beyond basic financial functions. It argues controllership should provide understanding to support strategic decision making, not just compliance. This requires understanding business operations and gaining strategic insights from financial data. An outsourced controllership model is proposed to focus on decision support and compliance over number crunching, freeing up 20-30% of time for strategic activities. Dedicated teams would provide timely, actionable insights to executives to facilitate strategic decisions.

Ben marks mackay - role of finance in the strategic-planning
- 2. This is a measure of the firm’s financial soundness and shows how efficiently its financial resources are being utilized to generate additional cash for future investments. It represents the net cash available after deducting the investments and working capital increases from the firm’s operating cash flow. Companies should utilize this metric when they anticipate substantial capital expenditures in the near future or follow-through for implemented projects.
- 3. This is the bottom-line contribution on a risk- adjusted basis and helps management to make effective, timely decisions to expand businesses that increase the firm’s economic value and to implement corrective actions in those that are destroying its value. It is determined by deducting the operating capital cost from the net income.
- 4. This calls for the efficient management of current assets (cash, receivables, inventory) and current liabilities (payables, accruals) turnovers and the enhanced management of its working capital and cash conversion cycle. Companies must utilize this practice when their operating performance falls behind industry benchmarks or benchmarked companies.
- 5. This is a measure of the operational efficiency of a firm. Profitability ratios also indicate inefficient areas that require corrective actions by management; they measure profit relationships with sales, total assets, and net worth. Companies must set profitability ratio goals when they need to operate more effectively and pursue improvements in their value-chain activities.
- 6. Growth indices evaluate sales and market share growth and determine the acceptable trade-off of growth with respect to reductions in cash flows, profit margins, and returns on investment. Growth usually drains cash and reserve borrowing funds, and sometimes, aggressive asset management is required to ensure sufficient cash and limited borrowing.
- 7. Many functional areas and business units need to manage the level of tax liability undertaken in conducting business and to understand that mitigating risk also reduces expected taxes. Moreover, new initiatives, acquisitions, and product development projects must be weighed against their tax implications and net after-tax contribution to the firm’s value. In general, performance must, whenever possible, be measured on an after-tax basis.
- 8. The introduction of the balanced scorecard emphasized financial performance as one of the key indicators of a firm’s success and helped to link strategic goals to performance and provide timely, useful information to facilitate strategic and operational control decisions. This has led to the role of finance in the strategic planning process becoming more relevant than ever.
