Processes
We recognize 4 types of Finance & Accounting processes:
- Recording transactions - These are mostly transacted following business activities: e.g. generating an invoice resulting in a financial booking in accounts receivables.
- Recording journal entries for accounting purposes - These are driven by consolidation and closing activities: E.g. Monthly valuation of stocks.
- Reporting - the consolidation of financial information for the purpose of financial analysis and management reporting
- Auditing - the validating of accuracy of information for the purpose of error correction and fraud prevention.
Additionally we recognize the need for financial planning:
- Budgetting
- Cashflow planning
Please add further process groupings or add definition to the existing
Metrics
We are looking for metrics that define Finance & Accounting performance.
Key question here is what the key metrics are to measure the company's financial performance. Many key numbers are recognized from a stock valuation perspective, but how about internal indicators for financial performance? Are they the same or different or?
