Objective: Managing the Company
The headquarters finance function is becoming more and more significant as a factor in successful company management. Decisions made here ultimately affect the success of the company. Having the right information, properly processed, and in the quality required, has become a fundamental competitive advantage.
These days, companies employ a range of reporting systems in order to obtain this competitive advantage. This results in a heterogeneous and partly redundant reporting structure and prompts two questions: Can I trust the information that I have before me? And is this information good enough to base operational and strategic decisions on it?
