Investing: Growth versus income
Apr 19, 2018

There’s never been a better time to consider your financial future
Apr 12, 2018

Financially speaking there’s a lot going on. Superannuation and aged care pension rules have changed. We’re living longer, but not necessarily without disease or disability. Add to these the rising costs of education and home ownership and it’s pretty clear…our money needs to stretch further than ever, and the lowest interest rates since the 1960s are not helping.

Want to figure out whether you’ll be a millionaire? A good place to start is the color of your skin.

Bloomberg News asked economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis a question: Would it be possible to calculate the odds of being a millionaire for anyone in the U.S., based on age, education and race? Having already done extensive work in this area, bank researchers William Emmons, Bryan Noeth and Lowell Ricketts agreed to help.

8 Financial tips for young adults
Feb 3, 2016

Unfortunately, personal finance has not yet become a required subject in high school or college, so you might be fairly clueless about how to manage your money when you're out in the real world for the first time. If you think that understanding personal finance is way above your head, though, you're wrong. All it takes to get started on the right path is the willingness to do a little reading - you don't even need to be particularly good at math.

What is the value of using dedicated software for financial planning?
Feb 3, 2016

Our research shows that dedicated applications are superior to spreadsheets in terms of how well they perform and how satisfied their users are with the planning process. Organizations that use such software get better results: 87 percent of companies that said their software performs very well also said they have a process for creating finance analytics that works well or very well.

Feb 3, 2016

We find limited use of in-depth contingency planning that enables executives and managers to understand both the operational and financial consequences of specific choices they make or the impacts of external conditions such as changes in a competitor’s strategy or in the economy.

How well do companies use analytics in planning and budgeting?
Feb 3, 2016

Not well. Our research shows that most get the basics right and are able to perform standard financial analysis but make limited use of advanced analytics. For example, predictive analytics is valuable for multiple purposes across multiple roles. Using statistical models, analysts can derive new insights into business drivers directly from data or create more reliable baseline forecasts. It can help identify strong correlations that can improve forecast accuracy or understanding of where there is a lack of predictability in the business and therefore greater risk in planning successful outcomes.

Everyone realizes that spreadsheets can be a problem when they’re used in planning and budgeting, but nobody seems to want to get rid of them. What do you advise people to do with them?
Feb 3, 2016

Use a balanced approach, understanding where spreadsheets can be useful and where you should avoid them. It’s not practical to try to get rid of spreadsheets altogether. But establish an ongoing review of where they are used in planning and budgeting and a process for identifying the ones that must be replaced because they undermine accuracy and reliability.

You have been advocating integrating all forms of business planning for more than a decade. What are the most valuable benefits of this approach?
Feb 3, 2016

The research we’ve done suggests that an integrated process works better for everyone. It cuts the workloads of the participants in the planning process. It makes it simpler for FP&A organizations to manage the process, perform analyses and create reports. And it can shorten planning and forecasting cycles.

What new technology trends are most likely to impact financial planning?
Feb 3, 2016

Companies increasingly recognize they need a central, easy-to use environment for all forms of company planning, not just financial planning. Dedicated planning applications provide that environment. One technology trend that supports this environment is cloud computing, which makes it easier for people to participate and remain connected to planning processes regardless of where they are. In-memory processing isn’t really new, but software vendors are making increasing use of it to enable more interactive and immediate planning.

What are the biggest challenges that companies face in financial planning?
Feb 3, 2016

One is simply to manage the process well. Only about half of the people in companies we recently benchmarked said that their planning processes are managed well. A contributing factor to this is that, according to midlevel managers, executives don’t communicate their strategy and objectives well. About one-fourth of executives said they communicate these very well, compared to just 7 percent of managers.

What are the most important trends in financial planning?
Feb 3, 2016

Three trends in particular are worth noting. One is “finance transformation” – the idea that finance departments need to shift the balance of the work they do from repetitive mechanical tasks to more valuable analysis. In that way, they increase their strategic value to the rest of the company. The second is the shift toward greater integration of financial and operating planning. Companies do a lot of planning, much of it in silos.
