In a recent survey of 250 senior IT & business decision makers by Cloud Industry Forum, 61% expressed concerns over data security in the cloud, despite the fact only 2% have ever experienced a cloud-related security breach. Talk of the cloud and cloud technology has been rife for a long time now, yet there are still many businesses that subscribe to out-dated myths, such as data security. The last few years have seen a marked increase in the popularity of the cloud but for many it’s another tech innovation that everyone tells them they need but that they don’t fully understand. There’s a distinct hype surrounding discussions on the cloud, but for the most part, they come across as semi-intelligible fog, full of jargon fi lled techspeak, with a lack of clarity about the business advantages. In this whitepaper, we’ll lift the haze around the cloud and take a straight-forward approach to explore the benefits, making it easy to determine if the cloud is right for you. We’ll clearly state the benefits of using the cloud as well as give an overview of the perceived risks and remove some of the common misconceptions.]]>

1 Corporate fraud: the cost of doing nothing /slideshow/corporate-fraud-the-cost-of-doing-nothing/41847867 corporatefraud-141121043237-conversion-gate02
Given that most companies are struggling to achieve healthy growth in the current climate, fraudulent activity cannot be tolerated, however minor some of the individual ‘crimes’ being committed appear to be. While the typical employee misdemeanour may not be on the same scale as those that transpired from the recent MPs’ expenses scandal, the amounts involved soon add up and can present a risk to company profits. Alarmingly, KPMG uncovered a dramatic increase in the number of cases involving the exploitation of weak internal controls – up to 74% in 2011 from 49% in 2007. This suggests that many organisations are not adequately protecting themselves from losses incurred through employee crime. It is also likely that the problems are more widespread and costly than these surveys suggest, since many cases of fraud go unreported either because companies are failing to monitor and measure instances of internal crimes, particularly below a certain threshold, or because they prefer to handle any cases that do emerge internally to minimise any negative PR.

Now is a very exciting time for charitable fundraising. Not only is economic confidence slowly recovering, there has also been a fundamental change in the way causes are promoted which is having a massive impact on public donations. Web- and text-based donation platforms, boosted by vast-scale viral promotions over social media, have altered the way people give - and the way not-for-profit (NFP) organisations raise awareness for their activities. What’s so powerful about these more dynamic fundraising opportunities is that they can have a huge and immediate impact, in a way that is both highly targeted, yet with vast reach – and typically for a fraction of the cost of traditional campaigns. In the third sector, the transition to emerging Web 3.0 opportunities has prompted its own new terminology. Charities and NFPs are now being encouraged to adopt ‘Fundraising 3.0’ strategies – ie new approaches to fundraising based on analyses of donor behaviour. But how geared up are charities and other NFPs to take full advantage of these new opportunities? We hope you find this whitepaper useful.

1 Making carbon reduction strategies pay /slideshow/making-carbon-reduction-strategies-pay/41847073 advbs469wpcarbonaccounting-141121040942-conversion-gate01
As the Coalition Government promises to tear out large sections of the rulebook and relax targets in an attempt to ease the strain on struggling UK businesses, it is tempting to conclude that environmental sustainability initiatives can be put on a backburner. In crisis mode, the country and its commercial entities surely have more pressing concerns? Keeping the lights on remains one of them and this demands that organisations can continue to balance their books. Evidence has shown that there is a direct correlation between energy efficiency and cost efficiency for a business. As a result, the attention paid to carbon emissions monitoring and management is no longer something that is automatically handed over to corporate social responsibility and marketing teams. At more astute companies, the discipline is now firmly on the radar of the finance department. If international pledges and government targets around global warming have done anything positive for businesses, it is to encourage them to measure and gain an appreciation for just how much wastage goes on in companies – and how much this is costing them. The following white paper assesses the current landscape for carbon emission monitoring, exploring not only companies’ regulatory responsibilities for behaving in a more environmentally sustainable way but also how, through systematic, integrated measuring and reporting, they can substantially reduce their internal costs at a time when energy prices and other business costs are escalating at a punishing rate.

One of the fastest ways to derail employee engagement and satisfaction is to make a mistake with payroll. Late salary payments, inaccurate holiday pay and miscalculated benefits can undermine morale and reduce productivity. So why do so many business leaders still regard payroll as a routine administrative procedure that is a cost centre? A typical company spends between 50 and 80 percent of its expenditure on payroll, and the costs of preparing and administering these payments are significant. Despite this, a recent survey found that less than half of businesses measure the efficiency of their payroll function, and three quarters said that they had no plans to investigate implementing a payroll strategy to reduce costs and add value to their business during the downturn. In the UK today, relatively few organisations see payroll as a strategic function, with half of companies handing over full responsibility for payroll to the finance function, with one in five opting to outsource the function completely. It is about time that the payroll department is recognised as having a vital role to play in helping businesses to survive and thrive in a tough economic climate.

In our recent survey of people in more than 100 mid-sized companies, we explored the frustrations of people responsible for processing financial data and also tried to understand the needs of those outside the finance department who rely on financial information. This survey was supported by interviews with consultants working for mid-sized companies, and the input of managers at mid-sized companies via a roundtable discussion. What became clear is that all is not as it should be. For example, more than 60% of people within finance functions recognise that they need to improve their financial processes and nearly 30% of end users believe that the data they receive is inaccurate, making it difficult to use financial information effectively in their roles. Yet, in many midsized companies, these issues remain unaddressed, either because of a perceived lack of time (63% of finance respondents) and/or a sense that the business is unlikely to act even if better options are identified (29%). That’s set against the small minority (17%) of people within finance departments who believe that a more frequent review of finance processes and technology simply isn’t necessary in the first place. Our research suggests that the vast majority are right: things could be better. Much better, in fact. The potential benefits of better financial systems range from lower headcount within finance and the avoidance of revenue leakage and improved cash flow, through to better management of all aspects of an organisation.

Advanced Business Solutions surveyed over 300 UK-based Not-for-Profit (NFP) organisations – charities and membership organisations – to investigate how well they’re managing their membership data. The results were surprising. According to the report, 96 per cent of NFPs are struggling to manage, decipher and capitalise on the terabytes of data they hold about their members and supporters. Nearly all NFP organisations are struggling to effectively collect and analyse valuable data which, as a result, threatens to erode hard-won loyalty. It also reveals that 75 per cent of those surveyed don’t have the time, skills or funds to resolve these issues – threatening their long-term success. We hope you find the report informative.
