Projects
BackThe information, as much the one that receives the Board of Directors, necessary for the exercise of its important function of supervision and control oriented to the wealth creation, like which it transmits to the shareholders and the markets, necessary for the knowledge of the company performance and the adequated quotations formation, is a critical and, sometimes, limited resource.
The rules, as much legal as voluntary, that regulate the information management in the companies, have affected more the information towards shareholders and markets that the information that must handle the Board of Directors. This lack of objective references and the heterogeneity of companies and used information systems have originated a situation of information deficiency that, in opinion of many, has taken to some companies to disappear or to face serious problems.
On the other hand, the existence of modern innovating computer technology and information systems can help to solve the problem.
