Analysing and predicting business performance is one of the most important things we do as managers, and one of the most difficult. We need to link financial and non-financial metrics and we must be accurate in our forecasts, as they might ultimately impact on actual financial performance. Ultimately, we must scrutinise our models and gut feelings, putting our feet on the ground. In this module, we will reveal why some companies might succeed or fail. More surprisingly, we will discover that even successful companies might fail. We will examine how to uncover which financial and non-financial performance measures predict financial results. And, among hundreds of financial and non-financial measures, which are the key drivers of financial success? How do you rank or weight financial and non-financial measures? What performance targets are desirable? Finally, we will look at some comprehensive examples of how companies have used accounting analytics to show how investments and decisions will pay off in the future, and finish with some important organizational issues that commonly arise using these models.
