"The budget and financial reporting processes are well known sources of frustration for most CFOs. Seeking a quick fix to the problem, the common solution is to pour more money into new and better software. This leaves the root cause, the inefficient and dysfunctional underlying processes and routines, unaddressed. As this book shows, substantial and sustainable improvements are only achieved through an holistic approach to process improvement, technology, strategy, and people."-Tom Henry Knudsen

* The emerging trends affecting financial managers today
* Step-by-step process implementation
* Interviews with industry leaders, consultants, and managers who have successfully instituted BPI plans
* Appraisals of the available software that can help or hinder the process
There is no substitute for improved efficiency. CFOs, controllers, budget managers, and financial analysts will significantly benefit from adding this authoritative guide to their professional libraries.
