Lack Of Strategic Information Can Leave Money On The Table
Says High Growth ERM expert and Speaker Gary W Patterson, the FiscalDoctor
July 11, 2014 – Birmingham, United Kingdom and Atlanta, Georgia – Enterprise risk management (ERM) expert and speaker Gary W. Patterson article “Lack Of Strategic Information Can Leave Money On The Table ” published by Financier Worldwide’s publication Risk & Compliance http://riskandcompliancemagazine.com/
His writes that the benefits of providing a timely information package are threefold.
- Firstly, directors are positioned to offer insightful, well-thought out recommendations if they get the materials early having time to review and think about the issues that are on the table. The board’s focus on strategic issues is the best use of their time and where they can add value to the overall enterprise.
- Secondly, the CEO and board members receive the gift of time to reflect and collaborate on the key strategic issues that will help the company grow and prosper.
- Finally, effective internal control over financial reporting and information security is a requirement of good governance which can be fulfilled by careful distribution of the information package.
