Management reporting plays a critical role in decision making, whether that is at Executive, Business Unit or Functional Manager level. A central catalyst for delivering strategy is the conduit role that management reporting plays. An underlying element of management reporting is the annual budgeting process. The annual budgeting process represents the allocation of resources to deliver strategy in financial terms. However the financial numbers are an output of critical operational drivers. Understanding the link between operational drivers, financial reports and decision making is critical in the delivery of customer satisfaction. Ultimately customer satisfaction is a key driver of strategic delivery. This workshop aims to enhance the competency of operational managers, improving their understanding of key numbers, the implication management reporting on brand, customer and external stakeholder outcomes through decision making.
A fundamental element of corporate management is to have performance measures aligned with the organisations’ strategic direction. Key performance indicators play a central role in organisational behaviour, motivating teams and instilling corporate culture. The process of mapping corporate mission, vision with business level and operational goals becomes critical to corporate success. The workshop will take delegate through a real case study of redesigning management reports from instigation to implementation
The annual budget cycle can be amongst the most stressful periodic deliverables for a finance leader. The annual budget process involves preparing a number of systems and models, managing numerous stakeholders across the business, and balancing ongoing deliverables while working within tight timelines. Challenges of a budget cycle include effectively communicating budget requirements to the business, establishing operational buy-in, then consolidating and re-communicating the outcomes of the budget process to executive management—all the while managing the expectations of all stakeholders in regards to time lines, quality of input and delivery. This session will outline techniques for improving budgeting outcomes, minimising finance handling and managing stakeholder input.
Navigating the path to deliver strategic objectives is one of the great challenges for business professional.

This session will outline how you can effectively leverage the relationship between budgets, KPI targets, forecasts and variance reporting to support the decision-making process and improve business performance.
