Within the financial department, the management control team is made up of a manager and more than 20 people (management controllers, mission accountants, financial management officers, but also positions dedicated to procedures and training, tools or cross-functional projects). The department mainly has a forecasting role (budgets, revisions), information (reporting, monitoring, alerts), training and control.
A major transformation project is underway. Its aim is to improve the financial and logistics management processes of Médecins du Monde France by implementing a new information system (SAP) integrating the areas of finance and procurement. The replacement of various non-integrated software applications with an integrated solution is combined with the adjustment of business processes and work practices within a framework of “digital and organizational transformation”.
It aims to simplify our Financial and Logistics Management processes, have reliable and traceable financial and logistics information, facilitate the overall management of our actions and decision-making in the service of projects.
This project is part of MdM France’s desire to move towards a high level of management of MDM activities and steering.
The deployment phase of the IT solution, following the ‘discovery’ and customization phases, mainly consists of user training, adjustment tasks and the progressive ‘real-life’ use of the new solution.
