Current challenges

Changed refinancing environment: The interest rate level has changed fundamentally, moving away from a phase of low interest rates and back towards a normal state. This results in an increased focus on interest rate and liquidity risks, which have to be managed holistically.
Margin and cost transparency: The transparency regarding the margin and cost situation at segment/customer/product/service level is often insufficient for management purposes. Unprofitable areas cancel out profits from top products. That’s why a transparent overview of margins and costs is especially important in the current environment, which is characterized by a faltering economy, declining demand and increased competitive pressure.
Default risks: Although still at a low level, an increase in defaults can be observed. This necessitates more precise management of the existing portfolio and new business.
Gap between management accounting and financial accounting: Ex‑ante calculations indicating profitable business are often not reflected in the income statement.  Well-known reasons for that include outdated input variables in ex‑ante calculations and a lack of backtesting of input variables.
