Financial planning and control is a key process of Corporate Performance Management.

Its functions include:

• providing internal guidance in planning, steering and monitoring value creation through the control of income-statement, cash-flow and balance-sheet value drivers;

• providing external guidance in supplying stakeholders (shareholders, banks, customers, suppliers, government) with key corporate information to enable them to assess economic and financial performance appropriately and rate the company’s creditworthiness accordingly; and enhancing statutory compliance and control capabilities.
