Investment Controlling
Inhouse Seminar: Investment Controlling
Investments are one of the most important decisions in a company. High capital commitment and planning uncertainty place special demands on project managers and controllers. The decisive factor for the success of investments is therefore not only the quality of the calculation, but the entire process from conception to post-control. At the same time, investments represent the basis for increasing value and are closely linked to working capital management.
