Digital Finance
Increasing pressure on the capital market, new customer requirements, stricter legal regulations and changes in corporate structures are just some of the factors forcing the finance sector to change. But the pressure to change also brings something positive: the transformation of the finance department has massive potential for increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
The disruptive change in the finance department with innovative technology and new structures enables greater transparency, agility, and scope for action – but only if the strategy is aligned and provides flexible financial operating models as well as a sensibly prioritized roadmap.
Turning necessity into a success factor
With the Finance Transformation, i.e. digitization of finance and accounting, a higher degree of automation is achieved, and forward-looking transparency is made possible. The aim is to develop a powerful operating model, improve core processes, lower costs, save time, increase data quality and, as a result, significantly improve the possibilities for controlling and financial reporting.
In the future, the finance department will have to ask itself which value contribution it can contribute as a business unit in a digital future and how it can sensibly exploit the new opportunities. Because one thing is certain: Finance must react in order to remain influential.
How does progress in the digital landscape affect the finance and accounting function?
The field of tasks in finance will be less and less characterized by repetitive and transnational activities in the future and will transfer to more analyses and intelligent evaluations of internal and external data sources (Business Intelligence and Advanced Analytics).
The corresponding technology creates complete transparency, robust digital security, and undeniable trust. Cognitive networks and AI solve complex problems faster and more accurately than any human being. Finance can process data from any source in unlimited quantities and reliably predict the most effective business results.
In addition to the demands on technology, business requirements change in ever shorter cycles. Both the organization and the skills of the employees must be adapted and assisted in their further development.
