Reporting, planning and performance
Management reporting, cash-flow visibility and planning that explain performance rather than merely record it.
Reporting should explain performance, not merely record it.
Many organisations receive financial statements but not financial perspective. The figures are delivered without the analysis that makes them useful to a management team or a board.
LedgerPoint prepares decision-useful reporting: management accounts with commentary, cash-flow visibility, budgets that reflect operating reality and forecasts that can be tested under alternative scenarios.
What this capability covers
Scope is set to the organisation's actual requirement. Engagements are built from the elements below rather than sold as a fixed package.
- Management accounts
- Monthly or quarterly reporting packs with variance analysis and written commentary.
- Cash-flow reporting
- Short and medium-term cash visibility, including committed and expected movements.
- Budgets
- Annual budgets built from operational drivers and agreed with the responsible managers.
- Forecasts
- Rolling forecasts updated for actual performance and revised assumptions.
- Scenario analysis
- Downside, base and upside cases with the assumptions made explicit.
- Performance analysis
- Margin, cost, working-capital and unit-economics analysis at the level that drives decisions.
- Outsourced finance oversight
- Senior review of the finance function, its controls and its reporting output.
What the client is left with
- A reporting pack management actually uses
