About this resource

Built around a real business decision.

A process-led approach to reducing close friction by clarifying dependencies, evidence, ownership and exception handling. It is structured for controllers, finance operations and shared services who need a useful starting point for internal discussion, evaluation and next-step planning.

What you will be able to do
  • Map dependencies before adding automation
  • Standardise evidence and approval expectations
  • Track recurring exceptions to their root cause

How to use it

Use the framework during discovery, a cross-functional workshop or an early vendor review. Adapt the questions to your operating context and evidence requirements.

What it does not replace

This resource is general business information. It does not replace legal, security, financial or procurement advice specific to your organisation.
