When considering the performance of any forecasting model, the prediction values it produces must be evaluated. This is done by calculating suitable error metrics. An error metric is a way to quantify the performance of a model and provides a way for the forecaster to quantitatively compare different models 1. They give us a way to more objectively gauge how well the model executes its tasks.

Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal has been ongoing for the past five years. Recently, former CEO Martin Winterkorn has agreed to pay the company €11.2 million ($13.7 million) in a clawback. Although Winterkorn was not found to be responsible for the development of the defeat device, he was in a meeting when the defeat device was discussed. In his role as CEO, he breached his duties by not investigating the defeat device and its possible use.

Zomato, an Indian online food-delivery company, was opened up to public market investors on July 14, 2021, and its market debut is being watched for clues by a number of other online ventures in India, waiting in the wings to go public. The primary attraction of the company, to investors, comes not from its current standing (modest revenues and big losses), but from its positioning to take advantage of the potential growth in the Indian food delivery market.

Although the large IT vendors are necessary to properly serve large MNCs, we must accept that they cannot solve every single problem and that fintech’s may be solutions to problems often faced. There is a bias consisting of over-sizing solutions, perceived as sort of kitchen robots by treasurers and CFOs. The solution can be often found in emerging fintechs, for those who take time to contemplate existing and performing solutions to complete and fulfil their IT panoply of tools.

A recent article highlights a retirement issue, "lost" 401k accounts. It is estimated that 24 million accounts containing $1.35 trillion in assets have been left in 401k accounts when someone leaves an employer. And while these can be claimed easily, we want to make sure that you don't forget about a retirement account. You can often leave a 401k account with an old employer if you like the options and costs available, but you can also roll over the account tax-free into an IRA.

Most businesses didn’t have someone in charge of all their data – ensuring data is valid, accurate, reliable, and available, or asking if it’s being reported objectively and responsibly. Finance teams have long relied on good data, relating to financial performance or results. Now, with all these external factors pressing for good data too, it’s time for the Finance function to step up.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

Cash flow models, cash flow projections, and cash flow forecasts are shorthand for a 13 week cash flow model. The 13 week cash flow model is a tactical forecasting tool used in business turnaround situations, rather than a strategic business forecasting model use
