EBS Business School
CAT4's financial management is one of the most flexible on the
market. It can be used for
budgeting purposes, cost planning and controlling, profitability
analysis, development of business
cases in general, and management of cost reduction projects. The
underlying concept is both
straightforward and flexible. CAT4 also allows the definition of
accounts. Financial transactions can
be planned for each account, each point in time, and each project
(or WBS element). Based on the
accounts, a calculation schema can be set up that even allows for
performance indicators to be
computed. The aggregation of such indicators along the WBS is
possible. In addition, many of the
financial indicators are implemented as standard functionality,
e.g. Earnings before Interest, Tax,
and Amortization (EBITA).
