The
finance function is under pressure to enhance its value contribution to the
business, deliver information and maintain effective controls in line with ever
changing governance needs. It is at the same time being subject to continuing
internal demands to reduce the cost of its operations. In combination, these
pressures create a challenging environment for the finance function.
Multiple

transactions and maintaining accounting records at low cost and delivering
efficient month-end reporting processes. Communicator – explaining the
business story to internal and external stakeholders. Diligent caretaker:

management and operations. Business
partner: providing the business with insight and advice on competitive
issues, developing strategy and plans, operating as business advisor and
challenging the complexity of the business model.
