Taking a systematic approach to estimating the strengths and weaknesses of reporting alternatives will establish the viability of the solution in your business.

The decision to implement an FPM solution can only be made once a full cost vs benefit analysis has been carried out. We share a checklist for this process.

Time expenditure on manual financial reports is excessive and tends to be pigeon-holed as ‘slog-work’, even by the most patient and precise employees. The process of check-add-delete can reduce even the most accomplished accountant to a gibbering wreck, and causes great discontent in the workplace.

Automation can help your organisation to optimise your staff performance, but also helps you improve motivation and staff efficiency, saving you money.

Understanding the processes and deliverables in the FPM upgrade process, from a client perspective, helps you to understand why and how an automated process can help your business to capitalise on resources, and what kind of changes you will need to make in order to successfully execute a modernisation or automation of your systems.

There are three important focus areas while planning an upgrade to your financial performance management or FPM Solution. We discuss getting started.

Over the next six months, Cortell will be looking at the real-life implications of implementing Business Performance Management solutions in your organisation. Knowing exactly what it entails, how it is implemented, and what changes you can expect to see in your organisation once the solution goes live will give you a better understanding of what is required, and how you can prepare your organisation for the change.

The reporting process as defined by the International Financial Reporting Standards regime is certainly a challenging one. Organisations must, for a start, attempt to cope with frequent changes or amendments to the IFRS, which tend to be introduced in large volumes. Moreover, this requires organisations’ reporting procedures to be continually updated in order to comply with IFRS updates. This makes the reporting process decidedly challenging for organisations which require frequent disclosures, particularly those involved in the consolidation of foreign operations and multiple versions of group accounting.

Much is written by software vendors, analysts and academics about Business (corporate or organisational) Performance Management. Van Zyl Brink is an experienced Cortell lead consultant who has guided colleagues and clients through several such initiatives. Van Zyl highlights key objectives which he advocates should be measured goals for any Business Performance Management process to be adopted for any organisation.

Many organisations get stuck with old habits. Habits that include manual, tedious, dependent processes. Activities that do not add value and only increases staff despair. Processes which require executives, managers and individuals to be involved in endless and repetitive planning activities. Some o…
