A company's external accounting produces the company's financial statements and related documents, such as the income statement and balance sheet. A company's income statement is a sufficient document for the tax authorities, so that the tax authorities can find out how much the company has to pay in corporate tax on its results. The company's financiers also want to use the company's income statement. Despite this, presenting the company's goals in budgeting and not in monitoring the implementation of the company's goals is not a sufficient document for the company's financial management. In order to manage a company, the company's management must have at its disposal financial figures that are more in-depth than the company's income statement about the company's current business status and goals, so that the company's financial management is possible. The following are a few examples of the information needed. In the financial management of a company, the company's management needs, among other things, objectives and their implementation monitoring of profitability components (depending on the company's business, for example by product, service, project, customer, business function, region, etc.), the efficiency of the company's resources (people and machines) and the utilization rates of the company's resources. I will talk more about the prerequisites for the company's financial management in my next blog posts.
I encourage you to share this blog post of mine on social media. If you have any suggestions for the topics of the next blog posts, I will gladly accept them.
I hope that you were interested in this matter and that you can continue to be involved.
I have written four books on creating the conditions for the company's financial management, and they are available in well-stocked bookstores and online bookstores in Finland, for example from BoD (Books On Demand) at:
