in brief
WHAT's NEWS Issue 11 December 1997
Last month, financial analysis and
management information system
(FA&MIS) had their second info-
exchange seminar on annual and
head office reporting. A total of 50
representatives front all international
offices came together for advice and
practical information about the
1998 changes in Dutch bank
reporting, coming about due to
moves towards European
integration. Showing our
commitment to networking, the
seminar was successful in bringing
together representatives from all
corners of the globe. The enthusiasm
of Singapore's senior account
manager Julia Teo was just one
exantple of how useful the seminar J
was 'for future reporting processes, I
collegiality and team networking.'
And the feeling is mutual as Utrecht
FA&MIS organizer Nicolette Kral
continues: 'We must be doing
something right - as a result of last
year's seminar, the year end 1996
processing resulted in a 90 percent
decrease of adjustments.'
