How to create a world-class Finance Function |
|
The PricewaterhouseCoopers report published lately gives the reader 8 “differentiating focus areas that define leading finance functions generally”. The report was written after analyzing 400 PwC benchmarking engagements in over 100 countries and over 100 interviews with finance leaders and CEOs. The 8 areas named by the company and described in the publication include: resource utilization, cross-functional transformation, business partnering, “lean” approaches to finance, people management, technology, competitive intelligence, and how the organization responds to change. PwC warns that changes are no longer to discuss and these areas will be focuses in the future for every company that counts.

Frontier Country Reports: Serbia & Croatia |
|
Deutsche Bank Research has just published two Frontier Country Reports: Serbia an Croatia. DB Research expects the Serbian economy to strengthen gradually in 2015, after the recession of 2014 (real GDP declined by 1.8% yoy), but growth is likely to remain slightly negative at around -0.3% yoy, mainly due to the impact of fiscal austerity measures on domestic demand. DB Research expects for Croatia 2015 real GDP to recover modestly and grow at around 0.3% on the back of a stronger performance of its export partners as well as stabilising domestic demand.

Win the book “Controlling - A critical success factor in a globalized world”! |
|
The English book “Controlling - A critical success factor in a globalized world” was written by ICV member Prof. Dr. Olaf B. Mäder, Professor of Controlling at Reutlingen University and Visiting Professor of Accounting and Controlling at the University of Friedrichshafen. The book shows how the “Objectification orientated Controlling” approach can ensure the successful management of a company in a challenging and competitive environment. The approach outlined in this book is based on the philosophy of a service provider who supports managers and decision-makers. This idea is well-reflected in the term “business partner”. The author combines scientific and practical evidence to deduce the approach. The book (available as e-book and print-on-demand online) is aimed at students and practitioners who want t
o learn more about improving business using a state-of-the-art support function, Controlling.
Today we can raffle 3 printed copies of this book. To take part in our raffle, please send us an e-mail with only one sentence, why do you read the “International Controller’s e-News”?, and – for the case you are one of our three winners – your postal address. – Good luck!
