As Group Finance & Reporting we are building our own “Sagrada Familia”: our data platform ALFRED, which will be the single source of truth for all Finance and Risk data. ALFRED will be the pillar under our ambitious Finance and Risk roadmap for the coming years and key in our road towards a digitalised Finance organization.
As of 2023, we will be reporting quarterly based on IFRS17&IFRS9 standards. During this year the Line Organization will take full ownership and lead in the runs and execution of the reporting process. The focus for the coming quarters is shifting towards operational readiness. In addition, other programs in our Finance Roadmap which leverage on ALFRED are getting up to speed and also require functional development going forward.
