Seven Keys To Successful Group Reporting

The key messages to emerge from our Group Reporting Study were:

Manage the Process - "These processes are the corporate arteries for performance management, don't let them haemorrhage."

People
- "Never assume your finance staff know everything that you do."

Standardisation, harmonisation and simplification
- "Even a great concert pianist still practices for hours every day."

Leverage Technology
- "If the Group Controller wants to fall in love with any one piece of technology, we strongly recommend falling in love with the web."

Change Management
- "It is not the quantity of changes that causes the issues, it's the management of the changes that matters."

Inter-Company Reconciliation
- "Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win."

Prediction
- "There is no present. There is only the immediate future and recent past."
