Finance KPI definitions handbook

Twelve indicators a finance leadership team can actually track monthly.

Each indicator carries a definition, a calculation, a data source, a frequency and a note on how it is commonly gamed.

The last of those matters most. An indicator without a stated failure mode gets optimised rather than improved.

What it is for

Stop KPI sets from growing to forty indicators nobody reads.

Who it is for

Finance directors and secretaries general.

How to use it

Pick six. The handbook is larger than the set any Society should run.
