Controlling & Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)

KPMG supports business entities by improving the planning, budgeting, forecasting and internal reporting of essential information for management (including corresponding ERP-based controlling structures) and assists in setting up, implementing, rolling out and stabilising controlling tools.

The understanding of the vast amount of available internal and external data as an essential asset requires consistent management of quality, availability and use in order to be able to generate competitive advantages.
