Top Business Issues

Finance department: keep on running

Evaluation Centre's overview of the accounting software and financial reporting software market

...As companies adapt to a world of continuing uncertainty in both the general economy and their particular marketplace, the finance department has an increasingly important role to play in the organisation.

There is growing demand for timely information about all aspects of the business, as line managers require more detailed performance analysis to react rapidly to market conditions and make informed business decisions.

Cost also has to be controlled throughout the organisation, and the finance department is not above the requirement to examine the efficiency of its operations, ensuring the right structure is in place to deliver services in the optimum way. Doing things in the same old fashion may no longer be good enough.

It is clear that the way financial services are delivered in an organisation is continuing to evolve, as our latest Evaluation Centre survey shows. The use of shared service centres is gaining in popularity, with 31% of organisations adopting this approach, while a further 5% are in the planning stage and 2% are evaluating the option.
