Professional boundaries
No statutory director role, payment authority, audit, legal or investment advice, or guarantee of funding or performance.
What should a management reporting pack contain?+
The pack should answer defined management questions. It may include profit and loss, cash, working capital, operational measures, variances, forecasts and an action log, depending on scope and data readiness.
How is management reporting different from financial statements?+
Financial statements follow an accounting presentation framework. Management reporting is designed for internal decisions, operational drivers and an agreed review cadence.
