| NEWSLETTER OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONTROLLING COMMUNITY |
Monday, August 22nd |
|
Hello,
the International Association of Controllers (ICV) is more and more international! That’s why the 42nd Controller Congress (May 15-16, 2017) will be in two languages for the first time. For our participants from the non German speaking countries we’re going to translate into English all the speeches in plenum as well as organize one English speaking session on Monday (15/05/2017) afternoon.
We are looking forward to meet our new guests who so far couldn’t participate in the biggest meeting of the controlling community because of not knowing the German language. Please show this offer to your colleagues so that our 2017 Congress would be a great success.

| BEAT THE LACK OF PROFESSIONAL CONTROLLING PRACTICES |
|
|
4th Sino-German Controlling Forum: September, 9th in Shanghai |
|
The 4th Sino German Controlling Forum (language: English) will take place on September, 9th in Shanghai. The conference is organized by www.chinacontrolling.com and the German Chamber of Commerce in China, supported by ICV, CA controller Akademie and DUSA European Association. High-level speakers from the German industry in China share their best practices and provide practical insights. Keynote speeches and workshops include these topics:
- Fast track reporting for HQ and local management
- Forecast and planning in volatile business environment
- Sales controlling for maintaining healthy growth
- Transfer pricing & controlling
- Lean management & controlling
- Supply chain integration & inventory controlling
Confirmed forum speakers are: Continental China: Cherrie Cen, Head of Central Controlling; E.G.O. Components: Marc von Busse, Finance Director; Schaeffler China: Francesco Ingarsia, CFO; Shanghai Operations: Dr. Gerd Möhrke, Principal; Wacker Chemie: Peter Richter, Head of Controlling; UAES: Dr. Hans-Henning Toepper, Senior Director; United Grinding: Jo Santens, General Manager; Deloitte China: James Zhao, Partner; E.G.O. Components: Helmut Schoeneberger, Managing Director Operations.
While operations in China are becoming increasingly complex, and competition is intensifying, there is a shortage of qualified controllers as well as a lack of knowledge of professional controlling practices. The Sino-German Controlling Forum wants to raise the awareness for the role controlling plays in an organization and simulate the exchange of the latest controlling trends and approaches among the Sino-German business community.

| CONSUMER FINANCE |
|
|
A new era for retail consumption |
|
Roland Berger recently issued a report titled "Consumer Finance: A New Era for Retail Consumption". The report analyzed the potential of China’s consumer finance market and how retail companies should develop business plans to capitalize on these new opportunities. This report shows that with the upgrade in product quality which individuals are consuming, the changes in consumer structure, and the implementation of favorable policies, the consumer finance asset balance (mortgage excluded) is expected to grow from nearly 5 trillion RMB in 2015 to 15 trillion RMB in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of over 26%. Empowered by this scenario and big data-based advantages, retail companies are well positioned to tap into this trillion-RMB consumer finance market.

| BREXIT AND THE EU INVESTMENT PLAN |
|
|
"Where do we go from here?" |
|
Deutsche Bank Research has published an article "Brexit and the EU investment plan: Where do we go from here?". Is Brexit going to impact on the EU investment plan? The short answer is „yes“. But the more interesting question is how it is going to play out both on the day-to-day operations, progress with the plan and the future of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) in particular. Let’s start by taking stock: With respect to macroeconomic developments, pre-Brexit baseline expectations for the EU suggested a continuation of the moderate recovery for 2016. Investment had picked up in the winter half, with the investment plan being one of the factors supporting this trend. By mid-June, about a third of EFSI’s key target – trigger EUR 315 bn in investment in three years – had been reached acc
ording to estimates by the institutions and the political discussion about continuing EFSI beyond its initial time horizon had already begun.

| DIGITAL DEAL ECONOMY STUDY |
|
|
As businesses go digital, companies seek to acquire innovation |
|
As the world goes digital, developing innovation in-house is no longer enough, according to a new study from EY. Instead, with constraints around time and capital, non-tech firms are turning to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures and alliances to acquire the innovation they need. The first ever EY Digital Deal Economy study into the views of 600 corporate executives from large companies globally, found that 90% of them face increased competition from businesses that have already embraced digital technology. Responding to heightened competition and a disruptive environment, more than two-thirds (67%) of global executives now plan to use M&A to upgrade their digital capabilities.
