The Top Five CFO Challenges from a recent survey Four of the top five challenges are dependent on creating an integrated BPM infrastructure for unified reporting and performance management Improving performance management Improving governance, controls, risk management Improving planning, forecasting and budgeting Improving access to appropriate information Improving competencies/skills

These trends drive toward key best practices in performance management Integrated BPM process and system framework Streamlined data flows Enhanced data granularity and transparency Consistent fiscal and management data views Unified compliance and management reporting Ability to expose metrics to dashboards/scorecards for monitoring, alerting and optimization Ability to layer in internal and external benchmarking Top CFO Themes - Performance Management: Performance Management is the top challenge for CFOs and thus the top area for improvement: Looking to link targets to consistent / coherent frameworks and cascade targets down through the organization Existing PM tools fall short in providing an integrated view across dimensions such as product, customer and supplier and enhancements here could add significant business value Many are looking to put more information into the hands of management/others via better use of existing ERP investments and self service or role based data CFOs recognize a need to improve information collection to support analysis and decisions CFO's see a need to improve timeliness, depth and transparency of data, to support analysis and decisions and also to assist with ensuring regulatory compliance Only a third of CFOs feel performance management was supported by appropriate information PM is not yet operationalised – it has not yet been cascaded effectively to individual levels nor is it fully embedded in targets Financial measures currently dominate performance management but CFOs are looking to add economic value measures Getting the right KPIs – focusing on the wrong info, too many in some cases, too few sometimes, not the right ones Integration of financial and management reporting and data flows remains a significant challenge for many; the driver for integration is process and systems simplification Internal vs. external, financial vs. non-financial

So what is Business Performance Management (BPM)? BPM is a set of integrated, closed-loop management and analytic processes, supported by technology, that address financial as well as operational activities. BPM is an enabler for businesses in defining strategic goals, and then measuring and managing performance against those goals. Core BPM processes include financial and operational planning, consolidation and reporting, modeling, analysis, and monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) linked to organizational strategy.

Value proposition of XBRL with BPM Bridge the gap between systems, accounting standards and global reporting Enables standard way of tagging financial information for structure, content and meaning Direct comparability of internal and external financial information Essential part of making IFRS data globally accessible, consistent and comparable

XBRL solves current issues with global financial and compliance reporting Thousands of companies release financial results internally and externally daily, monthly, quarterly, and annually Contents are not organized Processes are not repeatable Lots of data must be re-keyed No easy way to compare internally, let alone externally Trevor

XBRL provides strategic and cost reduction benefits Streamlined processes for collecting, comparing and reporting financial information Reduced costs Improved financial communication and transparency Increased data accuracy Direct comparability Multi languages and accounting standards support Improved risk management and control Ease of maintenance Faster, more reliable and extended scope of analysis capabilities for better decision-making Trevor
