Controller's mission statement

Controllers design and accompany the management process of defining goals, planning and controlling and thus have a joint responsibility with management to reach their objectives.

• Controllers ensure the transparency of business results, finance, processes and strategy and thus contribute to higher economic effectiveness.
• Controllers co-ordinate secondary goals and the related plans in a holistic way and organise a reporting-system which is future-oriented and covers the enterprise as a whole.
• Controllers moderate and design the controlling process of defining goals, planning and management control so that every decision maker can act in accordance with agreed objectives.
• Controllers provide necessary company management data and information.
• Controllers develop and maintain controlling systems
