Is your team one of the many who are sucked in by processes that have more in common with the Charles Dicken’s era that the 21st century? When I was an corporate accountant each period end was a disaster waiting to happen. Each month end (m/e) had a life of its own. You never knew when and where the problems were to come from. Always two or three days away we appeared to have it under control, and yet, each month we were faxing (email was not on the seen then!!) the result, with our fingers crossed. The last minute adjustments having negated “quality assurance†work we performed earlier leaving the result exposed to a late error. Does this sound familiar?If so, this article will show you a way forward, a pathway blazed by some of your far seeing peers. This series of articles is based on the collective wisdom’s of over 100 CFOs, to them we owe a great gratitude. This is their story, not mine.[Article] How much time is your team wasting on month end reporting?
