Reporting Effectiveness

Traditional management and corporate reporting models don't catch up with the compressed business cycles and transparency requirements of the current economy. Legal and statutory reports, management reports, 3-5 years plans, yearly budgets, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) based performance reports are required to be more and more comprehensive. Managers need to take on-the-spot-decisions and concentrate on future rather than on historical results.
