What is management control?

Management control is a strategic tool designed to facilitate decision-making and ensure the performance and sustainability of an organization. Unlike accounting, which primarily focuses on recording financial transactions and reporting to management, management control expands its scope to encompass all activities within the organization.

Forecasting, analyzing, and regulating are the foundations of this discipline, which goes beyond financial aspects to include operational, strategic, and qualitative performance indicators. Management control is at the heart of organizational performance.

Management control is a key element for analyzing and optimizing an organization's business model. It ensures oversight of the performance of your resource utilization, allowing you to analyze costs (purchases, expenses, and overhead), revenues, profits, and losses to gain an accurate overview of your company’s financial health. It is an effective way to anticipate deviations from objectives, adjust strategies accordingly, and optimize internal processes to enhance profitability, revenue, and competitiveness within your organization.

When to engage a management controller?

You need a management controller from the pre-project phase. In terms of the Business Plan, management control serves as a tool for economic simulation and the numerical realization of the business model. It analyzes the assumptions of the market study and opportunities to create projected income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.

Engaging a management controller is therefore relevant when your company encounters the following needs during its lifecycle:

Implementing a management control system

If your business is experiencing growth and you want to structure your financial and operational processes to improve cost tracking, margins, and profitability, a management controller can establish management tools.

Budget planning

When developing annual, projected, or multi-year budgets, the management controller assists in preparing realistic financial forecasts and tracking their execution.

Performance improvement

If you are looking to optimize financial and operational performance, a management controller can analyze the discrepancies between actual results and forecasts and propose improvement plans.

Reorganization or rapid growth

During periods of rapid growth, mergers, acquisitions, or reorganization, a management controller can structure processes to avoid financial slippages and maintain profitability.

Project profitability tracking

If you are launching multiple projects (new products, investments, etc.), the management controller can monitor costs and margins to ensure that the projects remain profitable.

Cash-Flow management

To anticipate financing needs and manage cash flow, the management controller plays a key role by monitoring financial flows and preventing liquidity issues.

Cost and margin analysis

If you notice cost discrepancies or declining margins, a management controller can help identify the underlying factors and propose corrective actions.
