The certificate is the ultimate recognition of the quality of your finance function. You have clearly worked and invested in the operation, the processes, the tools, the skills of the employees... 

Achieving the certificate is also recognition of your employees’ efforts. Make them even more proud of their work and the position they represent through this external recognition. 

Use the assessment and obtaining the certificate to dust off the annual team study day and start an improvement process with broad support within the team. 

The certificate is your weapon in the battle to recruit the best talent. With it, you show that you are on the right track and continue to invest in the finance function. 

Show your stakeholders, such as the banks, the auditors, but also internally such as the staff of your company, that you have things in order in the finance department.
