It is also appreciated for its stringent project processing, the quality and timeliness of its performance and the pronounced customer orientation and flexibility of its employees. Through acquisitions, the group grew abruptly in size and complexity, even in the financial sector. The resulting, diverse ERP landscape has recently been simplified, a group-wide understanding of the guidelines for accounting, reporting and timelines. This has also benefited the data quality, there is again a “Single Point of Truth”. The group was able to expand its healthy profitability through a refined project controlling. With the upcoming introduction of a BI tool, financial planning and data analysis are also to be supported. The Group Finance function keeps the back of the CFO in the core area of finance. It gives orientation, guidance and focus to the global finance community, strengthens its network and controls it through the Group's Financial Agenda. Gradually, Group Finance is to become an even more digitized function with uniform systems and lean processes, which operates internal performance and earnings management and continues to advance the group's future-oriented further development consistently, but also with a focus.
