A Financial Control System that Focuses on Improvement
and Success
Of course, we are not saying that businesses should ignore prudent controls over
their cash drawer. The point is that focusing on small components while not knowing
how much cash is tied up in receivables does not represent a control system that
recognizes priorities and risk. Focusing solely on the rote and mundane does little
to improve your overall financial performance. Financial control systems
shouldn’t just be about compliance, they should be about continually improving
key aspects of the financial operation such as:
Regularly reviewing and improving the overall capital structure.
Using a capital plan to minimize the cost of capital while strengthening the Debt/Equity position.
Managing working capital so excessive inventories and receivables do not sap financial resources.
Ensuring proper calculations and scenarios are explored while making debt/investment or leasing
decisions.
Maximizing returns while minimizing costs for cash and merchant accounts.
A control system of well-defined processes is not only about control or compliance,
it is also about consistently striving to do a little better. Control systems that
are designed only to achieve compliance are doing the bare minimum, and they
represent a missed opportunity to gain improvement and a competitive edge. And
that should be enough reason for any size and type of company to think about using
a continual improving process approach to creating a financial internal control
system. Sox is nice; but continual improvement is better for everyone.
Financial control of projects
Purpose:
中英文资料
Established and effective cost control systems and procedures, understood and
adopted by all members of the project team, entail less effort than ‘crisis
management’ and will release management effort to other areas of the project.
Fitness for purpose checklist:
The prime objective of the government’s procurement policy is to achieve
best VFM.
To exercise financial/cost control, project sponsors need to review and act
on the best and most appropriate cost information. This means that they
should receive regular, consistent and accurate cost reports that are both
comprehensive in detail and presented in a manner that permits easy
understanding of both status and trends. Reports need to be tailored to suit
the individual needs of each project and should always be presented to give
a comparison of the present position with the control estimate.
Reports to project sponsors normally give only the status of the project
overall. But sponsors will on occasion need to monitor costs against a
specific cost centre in more detail. The typical contents of a cost report
are given in Annex A.
Tables of figures are essential, but for rapid understanding and analysis
of trends some graphs are helpful.
Suggested content:
The following aspects should be addressed in a financial report (rather than
repeating detailed information available in earlier reports, later reports can
summarise the key points and cross refer to the relevant earlier reports):
development of budget
original authorised budget
new budget authorisations (giving justification for changes)
current authorised budget
expenditure to date
(Each section on budgets and expenditure should address the original base
estimates and risk allowances for each element)
commitments
agreed variations (giving justification for variations)
potential/expected claims or disputes awaiting resolution (if the project
is going well, this area should be small)
commitments required to complete
orders yet to be placed
variations pending
future changes anticipated.
