Shadow IT occurs when each department tracks its budget using its own file, leading to discrepancies with the ledger. Audit risk increases due to the lack of a clear audit trail. Merging multiple file versions leads to a loss of version control and the potential for internal fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem isn&#039;t just time-consuming. Excel creates security risks and undermines data integrity \u2013 something CFOs at large corporations absolutely hate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution is to build a &quot;Single Source of Truth,&quot; where all spending data is synchronized in real time instead of being updated manually and piecemeal. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve this, businesses must shift from a detective-based approach to a preventive-based approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>See more content about <a href=\"https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/cach-lap-ke-hoach-ngan-sach-doanh-nghiep-toan-dien\/\">How to create a budget plan<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Su_chuyen_dich_tu_mo_hinh_Detective_sang_Preventive_Control\"><\/span><strong>The shift from the Detective to the Preventive Control model.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a crucial turning point in thinking. <\/span><b>Corporate budget control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detective Control operates in a chain: invoices received \u2192 accounting \u2192 reporting \u2192 detection of overspending. By the time it&#039;s detected, the budget has already been breached. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventive Control works in the opposite way: a purchase request is created \u2192 the system checks the budget \u2192 approves or blocks \u2192 only then is the purchase order issued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference lies in the technology. Traditional ERP systems are strong in bookkeeping, but to implement preventative controls, businesses need to integrate sophisticated expense management tools into the approval process.

CFOs can simulate &quot;what-if&quot; scenarios and flexibly reallocate resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After developing a flexible plan, the next focus is on controlling daily spending.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kiem_soat_ngan_sach_tai_diem_yeu_cau_mua_sam\"><\/span><b>Budget control at the point of procurement.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the heart of the Preventive system.
