THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE SAP FINANCE BEST PRACTICE NETWORK

The SAP Finance Best Practice Network, open to an exclusive group of Senior Finance Executives and CFOs from multinational European organizations, was created to provide effective information sharing and time-efficient access to a wide range of topics of current relevance for finance, accounting, controlling/enterprise performance management executives and experts.

You and your finance team are given case examples by other practitioners on how to solve issues such as designing your vision on improved financial processes, create a solid financial infrastructure and how to prepare your finance function for a future with less "number crunching" and more business partnering. Bridge the gap between business and IT and determine how new technologies can support innovative business processes that can help your finance team creating value for the business and your company to increase profitability.

Participate in a Unique, Collaborative Environment

Members enjoy the opportunity to discuss today’s pressing business issues with other executives from leading companies at five formal network events per year: three SAP Finance Best Practice Workshops and two CFO Roundtables. In this setting, we are able to discuss the current challenges both on a more operational and strategic level with an organization. Another important part of the network are Focus Workshops, where smaller groups of active customers come together to discuss very much in detail current topics that they are working on.

Topics include:

• project management for finance transformation projects
• finance operations process reengineering, including shared services and business process outsourcing
• reengineering of enterprise performance management concepts and processes, including planning, management reporting and decision support
• accounting, closing and financial reporting,
• corporate governance, risk management, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
• HR for finance and IT for finance.
