Monthly MIS That Actually Helps Decisions
Most MIS reports are “numbers” — not “answers”. A decision-ready MIS should tell you: what changed, why it changed, and what to do next.
“Show me the 5 numbers I need to run the business — and what actions to take this month.”
What “decision-ready MIS” should answer
If your MIS doesn’t answer these questions, it’s just accounting output:
- Did we make money this month? (P&L)
- Did we collect cash? Are we safe next 8–13 weeks? (Cash forecast)
- Where is cash stuck? (Working capital: DSO/DIO/DPO)
- Which product/customer/channel is profitable? (Unit economics)
- What changed vs last month & vs budget — and why?
A CFO rule:
Every MIS page should end with “Decision + Owner + Deadline”. If it doesn’t, it won’t change outcomes.
