In these economically troubled times the finance team needs to lead from the front. To do this they need to free up time from accounting routines so they can be active business partners to management.
The real decision based reports are those issued daily and weekly. In other words briefing management after month end is too late, and too much time spent on month end reporting is time wasted. If your month end is slow this is a must attend course. David Parmenter has presented it successfully to over 2,000 attendees; it has had a profound impact across all sectors.
David has yet to find an organisation that cannot achieve day three reporting if they apply his methodology, developed from the better practices of hundreds of fast reporting organisations. Month end reporting by day one is being achieved by some leading organisations around the world. While day one reporting may not be a goal you wish to achieve, day three reporting may well be. Attending this workshop will provide an impetus to shorten your month end reporting process. David is known for his ability to facilitate sharing of ideas and practices by attendees.
