Oh, and that includes its accounting – I will talk more about that below.

By Robin Kiziak, Finance Manager at Wickes

Risks: How to Make Risk Appetite Visible?

By Richard Reinderhoff, CFO/FP&A Expert and Independent Adviser

October 15, 2019

At a corporate level, risks can be very well mapped and controlled using e.g. the COSO framework. Defining the risks is often source driven. This means: the source of the risk is identified leading to the impact being measured by the possibility of occurrence (chance) and the size of its impact on the P&L (money). How much appetite for risk does the company have to achieve its goals?

By Lance Rubin, Cashflow Financial Modeler and Finance Innovator

October 14, 2019

When I first came across the term driver based planning and forecasting I was confused. As an ex-investment banker having joined a Finance team the concept of drivers when talking about a forecast or plan was simply assumptions. Why was it not called just that? Assumptions! Investment bankers have been building models with assumptions ever since the first model was built and a corporate transaction was negotiated.
