7.3 The Finance cockpit at a glance

The Finance cockpit is described in full at 2.4 — its tiles (Net profit, Operating cash, AR overdue, AP overdue), its charts (a revenue-versus-cost trend, and profit and loss by account group), and the Journals list as its grid, which is the honest summary of this chapter: everything ends up as a journal. Its findings are the finance team's early warnings — an account drifting from its budget, bank lines left unreconciled, goods received but not yet invoiced, an uncomfortable share of receivables overdue. Read the cockpit for the whether, and this chapter for the how.
