Abstract:

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 to explain to stakeholders how this will impact the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
