FINANCE
Adapting to the challenges of the current environment requires an improved finance function. The production of figures and implementation of new standards such as IFRS 9 or 17 is still necessary, but far from sufficient.
A modern finance function needs to work as the navigator for the company as well as the challenger of the whole business. Support for decision making, forward looking analyses and further integration with the risk function is key.
At the same time, the finance processes themselves should be subject to efficiency analyses and digitalization.
Specific services offered within this area may include:
We support you in meeting existing accounting requirements and in the implementation of new regulations. Our accounting reference model covers all business, procedural and technical requirements and we offer additional support through our accounting software “zeb.control”.
We assist our clients with everything from revenue controlling, cost accounting, productivity management and top management reporting. We also help you find IT solutions and tailored IT architectures for controlling and reporting.
We help you develop strategies for treasury management that are tailored to your business model and strategy. We also support the implementation of strategy by designing the necessary processes and methods required to manage treasury risk and ensure an adequate funding approach.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Today’s risk managers are required to master not only financial risk but risk categories ranging from operational risk to business and strategic risk.
At the same time the methods established by international and local regulations demand a higher degree of complexity in the organization’s approach to risk management.
