Keeping An Eye On Your Business Health
We’ve previously discussed that sometimes the three core financial reports are not always enough to understand your business.
If you want to know where various departments in your organisation currently stand or you want to focus on specific aspects of your business, you need proper custom reporting.
Custom business reports are an important tool to increase efficiency and effectiveness in you day-to-day business operations. It supports organisational decision making and tells you the right questions to ask, by providing you access to the right information. When data is laid out in detail for each department, it is easy to understand, and it give you the information you need at a glance without going into the details or meeting with the department head every day.
By giving your staff the tools to monitor their performance on a weekly or monthly basis, you are able to make informed decisions at all levels of the organisation.
Custom business reporting improves the quality and transparency of information for key stakeholders in the company and allows them to make better informed decisions for the company. When you switch your focus from historical financial information (acquired from Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement, Cash Flow Statement) that often fails at providing a more detailed picture of your business to incorporating relevant value drivers, management’s strategy, plans, opportunities, and risks, financial and non-financial performance measures, you are in a better position to make decisions for your business.

By looking at key aspects of your business you can create custom reporting to give you insights into what’s going on.
