七个关键技能和一种新的思考方式
BY STEVE SPIECH,CMA,CFM
Every company has employees who analyze its financial data and enhance its decision support process by providing their insights and analyses to management. In some companies the CFO, controller, or accounting staff performs this function in addition to their regular responsibilities. In other companies the process is more formal, with financial analysts, cost accountants, and even whole departments dedicated to this function. No matter which way it’s done, effective financial analysis is really more a way of thinking than a series of steps or processes.
每一家公司都有分析其财务数据的雇员，并且通过提供他们对管理的洞察和分析来增强其决策支持流程。在某些公司CFO、主计长或者其他会计部门职员在他们的常规职责之外承担了这项职能。在其他公司这一流程更为正式，会有财务分析师、成本会计师甚至是整个部门专门致力于这项职能。无论以何种方式去做，有效的财务分析更多的是一种思考方式而不是一连串的步骤或程序。
