I have been negligent and not documented on the blog lately the fact that I was asked to present at the ‘Streamlining finance processing’ conference in Sydney and Melbourne on 23rd and 24th July. The blurb for the conference notes:
Coping with enormous volumes of data is nothing new for finance teams. Yet the pressure to reduce errors and improve efficiency is greater than ever.
Managing change and implementing new measures can result in better data, speed and outcomes that will benefit all areas of the business.
This practical conference delivered by industry leaders will provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to transform the systems and processes in your organisation for long-term success.
Apparently I am right up there as a ‘key speakers’ with the people from Santos, Star Track Express, Leighton Contractors, Australia Post and then myself from Applied Insight. I’m not exactly chopped liver, but neither am I giving a keynote speech. So that will be interesting, of course. On both days I am giving a session entitled ‘Optimising your financial reporting systems for long-term value’ at 1.35pm. The session outline is:
Optimising your financial reporting systems for long-term
Financial reporting systems are the ‘engine room’ for data collection, extraction and usage. Their design, usage, costs and benefits need to be understood clearly by finance managers. This session will discuss:
- Diagnosing the efficiency of your reporting systems – practical steps
- Implementing operational improvements or building new systems – decisions and costs
- Tracking and monitoring efficiencies – data quality and effective usage
Please, make sure to check the gartley patern strategies to having financial stability.
