What are we saying when talking about cashflow ?

The different kind of cash-flow: Two methods:

Direct method: a treasury vision of inflow and outflows (a treasury explanation of the variation) Indirect method: an operational vision of the cash / debt variation

Different explanations: Cash variation explanation Net debt variation

Different aggregation: Operational cashflow, free cash-flow CAPEX, cashflow from investing activities Cashflow from financing activities

The method that will be explained is mainly for indirect but is not limited to any explanation variation or aggregate

What are the main problem faced in the systems ?

Difficulties to have dedicated cashflow by scenario / year One cashflow for all the scenario Not able to setup or make evolution on cashflow

Bottleneck in the rules calculation (with long consolidation time) No link with treasury reporting

3

We noted on HFM Application 3 recurring problems:

Lake of auditability and difficulties to understood an amount Not able to drill down No possibilities to understood easily an amount

or

What is the technical explanation ?

The method that should not be applied: Hard coded rules for cashflow

Not data driven: the crossing are always calculated, regardless of presence of data in the system

Generating huge amount of zero Slowing down the system

4

Realized with that method in 70% of the

applications

What should be the perfect solution ?

5

Easy to maintained

Easy to design

Easy to analyze

Good calculation performance

What do we propose ?

6

Auditability / Analysis

Very good performance (compare to what the market propose)

Zoom capabilities to drill until an amount

Dynamic webform to analyze easily the Cashflow

No need to manage rules to understand and update cashflow: setup is done in

the metadata

Flexibility / Evolutionary

Very good performance (compare to what the market propose)

Possibilities to manage different cashflow (one by period, or one by scenario)

Dynamic webform to analyze easily the Cashflow

No need to manage rules to understand and update cashflow: all the setup is

done directly a admin webform (as ownership)

What are the result in term of performance ?

The method prevail over the version

What is the first method ?

First one realized to improve auditability

With a single zoom you can determine the crossing which are feeding the amount The cashflow is easy to maintain: just have to add the crossing which are associated to

the cashflow line Best way to create an audit trail for your cashflow

Design Usage

Demo

What is the second method ?

Second one realized to improve maintainability

You can setup your cash flow (and associated webform from HFM Interface) from a webform

You can make evolution inside the cashflow by month (and maintain previous setup on previous month)

You can have different cashflow between Budget / Forecast & Actual

Design Usage

How can we manage implementation risk ?

Concerning operational riskNo risk on data production: Possibilities to maintain both cashflow (old and new one) to secure productionNo risk of regression: The cashflow design is based on the cashflow used

Concerning planning riskThe methodology of implementation is industrialized: we apply always the same method to guaranty that the planning and result are in line with customer expectationNo risk of regression: The cashflow design is based on the cashflow used

Concerning budget risk:The workload is fixed

Specification Development Validation Training and documentation

Determine and design (in Excel) the Cash Flow

Goal

Prerequisite

Workload

Delivery

Implement in HFM the cashflow Validate the cashflow with data Prepare documentation process

Realized with that method in 70% of the applications Validation of specification Finalize development N/A

From 2 days to 5 days 4 daysTo be defined

(depends of the support, number of period and entities)

3 days

Cashflow specification and Excel simulation tools

HFM Rules and metadata, and one webform by Cashflow lines Cashflow validation form

5 process sheets that describe, maintenance (admin support)
