A monthly board pack for a group of companies: what goes on each page
The ten pages of a monthly group board pack, in the order a board reads them, with a worked income statement page against budget and what to leave out.
This free PowerPoint template lays out a monthly group board pack in twelve slides: summary, profit and loss against budget and latest estimate, cash, balance sheet, results by company, KPIs, intercompany and open items, risks and decisions. Every figure is an example from a fictional group and is marked as one.
| Slide | Title | What goes on it |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Summary | Four headline figures and three to five messages |
| 3 | Profit and loss | September, year to date and full-year estimate against budget |
| 8 | Intercompany and open items | Pairs that do not agree, with reason, owner and date |
Group CFOs and finance controllers who present a monthly pack to a board or to owners, and accounting firms that prepare one for a client. The figures in the pack come from the group templates on this blog: the group budget, the intercompany reconciliation and the translation reserve workbook. When producing the pack by hand takes more than a day, Finconsol builds the group figures and the pack from the same data.
