The Group Control Department has 4 sub-departments: FP&A, Financial Applications like HFM, Vinci and B-Wise, Accounting, Reporting & Compliance and Business Analytics, so called VBA-CC. The Group Control team is on a journey to further develop and increase efficiencies and effectiveness throughout the company. This journey includes the development of innovative tools like Business Intelligence, Robot Process Automation, etc. This also applies to the IM&T department, which obviously is strongly involved in these projects.

The IT Controller is part of the FP&A department, but is also a key position within the IM&T Management Team working in our corporate offices in Boxtel.
Further optimising of the budget and forecasting processes and further improvement of the relevance and reliability of management information will be an important part of the responsibilities. In addition the IT controller also has a main responsibility in the monitoring and governing the IT projects, which includes capitalisation of the internal hours of the IT projects in line with the accounting manual. Also, the development and implementation of improvements regarding transparency and clarity in the area of the internal control environment is a key responsibility for this role.
