A COMPLETE VIEW OF THE ENTERPRISE:Linking operational and financial planning in global organizations CFOs, as the gatekeepers of forecasting and planning, are under pressure as never before. Traditionally finance leaders have typically provided one view of the enterprise to their executive team and investors - the financial view. Financial indicators, while crucial of course, often describe reality as it was, a historic snapshot. Precise forecasting - explaining what is likely to happen and why - requires many different views from various departments or 'lenses' within the business. Increasingly it falls to the finance department to make the links between forward-looking data from core operations, and explain to stakeholders how this will impact the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement. This research was commissioned to understand how CFOs are responding to these pressures. How integrated are operational and financial planning systems and processes today? Are CFOs satisfied with their planning processes? What planning tools are proving most effective - and what tools are falling short of expectations? What steps have CFOs taken and what are the benefits of integration for those who’ve already achieved it? Download the following Research Report free!
