Hello,
the International Controller Association is inviting submissions for the “Controlling – Newcomer Award”. The objectives of the award are the promotion of young academics in the field of Controlling and the transfer of innovative and practicable ideas from the university environment to the active practice of Controlling where they can be applied by a large number of professional Controllers.
The Controlling – Newcomer Award will be awarded on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at the regionale conference Controlling Innovation Berlin - CIB 2016 in Berlin. We expect award winners to present their work to a broad audience at the CIB, ideally with the support of their supervising professor. More information at ICV website.

Newest Quarterly of the Dream Factory |
|
The Team of ICV Dream Factory – ICV expert work group – is currently working on the topic of “Business Analytics”. Business analytics describes the comprehensive use of data based on mathematical and statistical analyses, together with explanatory and predictive models. In this context, the use of the word “business” underlines the fact that these analyses and models are used for business purposes to support and improve managerial decision-making. In the newest Quarterly (issue 18) recently translated into English, the experts first outline the different development phases of data analysis. Then, they show which industries are currently leading the race in the use of business analytics. Finally, they take a look at how individual functions use business analytics in their daily business.

| PAYMENTS IN THE EURO AREA |
|
|
Number of cashless payments did not grow |
|
According to the ECB the number of cashless payments in the Euro zone remains flat at 68 bn transactions. The difference with the previous year is bigger than in last years. Card payments that have now 40% share of all cashless payments grew by 6% yoy, e-money payments grew by 15% yoy (but have still only 3% of the market). Credit transfers and direct debits shrank by 2% and 9% yoy respectively (and have now 26% of the market each). The number of transactions was influenced by overhaul of the methodology: after some corrections, we see that the market was growing. Taking old methodology into consideration, cashless payments grew to almost 73 bn (by 7% yoy). Payment volumes in the euro area have risen every year since reporting started – including 2014 if you don’t consider statistical changes. Figures f
or 2015 will not be released before late summer this year, but further growth can be expected.

Lithuania: GDP growth likely to accelerate in 2016 |
|
According to the brand new "Lithuania Frontier country report" of Deutsche Bank Research the food embargo and recession in Russia had influence on Lithuania market situation in 2015. Besides, the population in last decade declined by 11% due to low fertility rage (only 1.6 in 2013) and net emigration. The GDP growth was only 1,6%, but in 2016 it’s expected to grow by more than 1% yoy. What helps the situation? Higher EU-demand on providing 60% of the whole Lithuanian export and “new social model” reform package that the government proposed which will (as hoped) reverse adverse effects of demography change on the economy and public finances. Although Lithuania still remains vulnerable to external shocks, the vulnerabilities have been reduced by the euro adoption and access
to Eurozone financial resources.
