"By the year 2005, the finance function as we know it will have changed almost beyond recognition. Transaction processing will be simplified, standardised, routine streamlined and automated. That's 60% of finance's current responsibilities about to disappear."Gregory Hackett, Co-Founder of the US-based Hackett GroupThe days of the traditional number-crunching finance department are numbered. Increasingly, world class companies are demanding that their finance function add positive value instead of draining revenue. Transaction processing and control account for 84% of their total activities. The function is not only spending little time on value-creating activities such as decision support and future planning, but it is also consuming a significant proportion of company's revenues.To rise to the challenge, finance departments must completely transform their activities. But how?Essential reading for all Finance Directors,this bestselling briefing - now fully revised in a new edition - provides you with a complete toolkit to shift the role of the finance function from corporate scorekeeper to value generator.
