What is Right-Sizing: People, Processes, Systems?
The finance function includes the interconnected components: People, Process, and Technology. These components are a three-legged stool, that when optimized in an interconnected ongoing effort, can effectively address evolving organizational needs. We have a full understanding of each one independently. However, the most powerful impact comes when we apply our knowledge of best practices of how the three interrelate to address your situation.
Consult with AAFCPAs to perform an objective assessment of your accounting & finance function. We have the expertise and exposure to best practices to advise and guide you to achieve best-in-class performance.
PEOPLE |
PROCESS |
SYSTEMS |
| Do you have the right people, with the right skill sets, at the right time?
Can you dial up, dial down as needed (e.g., in a pandemic)? Are skills needed (on premises versus remote) different after the pandemic? Is recruiting & retaining talent difficult? Is the time & energy it takes to manage people worth the ROI? |
Are your processes efficient, effective, and do they achieve adequate internal control to mitigate risks?
Are they challenged in off-seasons or by the unexpected, such as the pandemic? Are you working smarter, not harder? Are you using too much paper? |
Are your systems cloud-based?
Are systems secure? Do you have reporting challenges? Are you over-reliant on paper or excel? Are you using your system(s) to their fullest potential? Are your system(s) meeting corporate objectives and driving productivity? |
