In the aftermath of the global recession, financial institutions are under more pressure than ever to create value and profitability, all amid a landscape of tighter margins. For this reason, financial institutions are expanding their use of technology for budgeting, planning, forecasting and broader performance management needs, including:

• Profitability planning and analysis
• Planning and modeling for the entire P&L, including interest rates, spreads, growth, non-interest income, capital and payroll
• Integrated balance sheet planning, such as runoffs, new volumes, projections of loans and deposits
• M&A modeling at the legal entity, region, branch and portfolio level with detailed cash flow analysis

Participants will learn the benefits of an enhanced focus on performance management activities, how it can address the challenges unique to the banking and financial services industry and strategies to avoid five of the common mistakes companies make in deploying performance management applications.
