AND THE SAVVY INVESTOR |

Reengineering Finance: What Does It Mean and How
to Do It
This talk discusses how to implement cashflow processes to reduce
costs, save time, improve service, understand costs, improve efficiency,
identify opportunities for improvement, and secure your company from
fraud and control problems.
What's Wrong with Benchmarking Finance?
Financial benchmarking compares a company's performance in a variety
of quantitative financial measures to that of a peer group. Proponents
argue that such comparisons promote efficiency; opponents note that
financial managers do not operate on an assembly line with standardized
products, and that significant variations in the role of finance make
such comparisons meaningless. This is an interactive presentation
on positive and not-so-positive experiences with financial benchmarking
and best practices.
The Evolving Role of the Financial Manager
This presentation discusses the responsibilities of finance in sales,
product planning, accounting and systems, using specific examples
of the contribution of finance to each function. As finance extends
into new business functions, financial managers will be required to
understand and work with areas traditionally considered as outside
of their areas of expertise. However, this is the future of finance
in the 21st century "new" economic order.
Financial Metrics for E-Commerce Transactions
Will your organization be profitable in e-commerce? The "old"
economy arranges and settles transactions using paper, allowing thoughtful
evaluation of discrete timeline activities; e.g., sales activities,
pricing, invoicing, collections, etc. The "new" economy requires nearly
real-time evaluation and decision-making, and standard profitability
models will be useless in future corporate-to- corporate business.
This presentation addresses the development of meaningful financial
metrics for e-commerce transactions using the techniques of present
value. Specific problem situations are presented and analyzed.
Risk and Control: Policies, Procedures and Checklists
Companies lose billions of dollars annually to deficiencies in cash,
accounting, information and risk management controls. Organizations
often segment the management of risk by function, ignoring the need
to systematically coordinate and oversee risk. This presentation focuses
on the theory of risk management, the construction of policies, procedures
and checklists to provide a framework for the design of systems and
controls in support of company objectives, and illustrative policy
content in the four relevant functions.
The Emerging Oligopoly in Banking
What effect will the emerging oligopoly in banking have on corporations?
Will banking services cost more or less? Will there be faster or slower
technological innovation? There will be a discussion of the application
of the economic theory of oligopoly and how it affects markets, and
how business should prepare for 21st century developments in financial
services. |
