Uticaj uvođenja ERP sistema na unutrašnju organizaciju finansijske funkcije u kompaniji

Abstract

Finance represents one of the key functions in every organization. Regardless of the organizational structure model, finance emerges as an organizational unit providing one of the core support functions. During the implementation of an ERP solution, the financial module is almost always among the first to be purchased and deployed, and often the only one implemented in the initial phase. Accurate and rapid financial reporting is one of the main drivers for acquiring an ERP system. In addition to these benefits, the digitalization of financial processes leads to a range of other changes that impact all key elements of the organization. This paper will present how the introduction of an ERP solution affects organizational design within the domain of the financial function. The results are generated based on an analysis of changes in the organization of financial operations in several companies that have implemented ERP systems. These findings can be utilized by company managers and experts engaged in ERP implementation projects to gain a better understanding of the organizational changes that must accompany the process, as well as the potential additional indirect benefits that are reflected through organizational improvements, rather than solely through direct enhancements in financial controlling, analytics, and reporting.
