Summary: Senior financial executives are always looking for new and better ways to run their finance functions more effectively and efficiently. Many have investigated outsourcing and offshoring, but they are not sure of the best sourcing approach for their own companies. The Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) undertook a research study to investigate various approaches to the sourcing of financial operations. FERF staff interviewed financial executives from 16 large, well-managed companies on their company’s approach to the sourcing of financial operations. This resulting report investigates four common approaches to sourcing, including shared services, co-sourcing, offshoring and outsourcing.
