Complete our assessment: How resilient is finance to key-person dependency?

When a small number of employees hold essential knowledge about processes, systems or reporting requirements, organisations create unnecessary risk.

Teams can struggle to maintain continuity when these individuals take leave, change roles or leave the organisation. A scalable finance function shares knowledge effectively and reduces dependency on individual team members.

Does any of this sound familiar?

• Only one or two people understand key finance processes.
• Team members struggle to cover important activities during periods of absence.
• Critical processes rely on undocumented knowledge.

What to do next

Assessing key-person dependencies can help strengthen resilience, improve succession planning and reduce operational risk across the finance function.
