KPMG is one of the world's largest financial services firms, providing audit, tax, and advisory support to businesses across the globe. This program joins KPMG's Ben Skarrasbrek and Alexi Terrovex as they embark on a virtual tour of financial planning and management in large organizations. Starting with common financial roles and duties, the video establishes the vital importance of developing good cash flow, liquidity, and return on capital investment. It then engages in an in-depth audit of the planning cycle, from addressing the current financial position and developing a business plan, through monitoring cash flows and financial reporting, to maintaining financial controls and minimizing risk.
