Reporting is the most important function for the diffusion of information across management levels.
We design insightful reporting systems to provide the necessary information, at the right time, to the right management level, in order to trigger or support decision making. We develop early warning systems to operate proactively in troubleshooting.

We have developed numerous reporting systems to cover diverse needs. Every reporting system we develop is structured so that it is a useful day to day management tool, as well as a source of information for the upper management. Our competitive advantage is that all reporting systems we develop incorporate a high degree of automation and are usually web-based.

Working capital is a measure of a company’s short term financial health and efficiency. The working capital need is based on the amount of capital linked to current assets, such as inventory and receivables, which can be converted into cash and cover the company’s current liabilities.

Working capital management is a continuous process that aims to speed up conversion of current assets to cash. Inventory management, commercial policy, short term liabilities management and credit controls is key to achieve this task. Vega assists clients in managing their working capital and therefore improving financial liquidity.

Cost analysis is a key element in many business decisions, especially in understanding the cost structure of each business operation. We perform in-depth analysis of every cost and break it down to fixed – variable, direct-indirect, relevant – irrelevant, marginal and sunk cost.

Vega has completed several engagements in developing cost systems, using Activity Based Costing for the calculation of profitability by profit center, applying Cost Benefit Analysis in the evaluation of investments or divestures and contributing in business re-engineering by defining cost drivers and relevant synergies.
