CFOs are breaking out of their silos to move beyond administrative and transactional tasks and become catalysts to improve business performance. In collaboration with business units, they are developing the metrics and data required to track and meet business goals. In order to provide the decision support that finance needs, it is important to be able to answer the following questions:
Are you consistently capturing the information needed to make decisions at the operating as well as the senior management levels?
Can the information be broken down into components linked to the decisions at the operating level that drive the business?
Is the information available to decision-makers ina timely way? Can it be accessed easily?
