The CFO's Guide to Revenue Assurance and Governance

 

Overview

This course is designed to provide the CFO or Financial Controller with a brief introduction to the New Revenue Assurance governance model for the management of telecoms revenue. It is an Executive Briefing session designed for the Top Manager and Operational managers interested in learning how GRAPA's Revenue Assurance Standards and Governance Model framework is implemented to give top management a clear, transparent, and meaningful control over the full range of operations in the telco organization.

The new Revenue Assurance Governance model provides an industry standards-based framework for assigning, tracking, monitoring and adjusting investment in different revenue assurance activities. You will also learn the three major functional responsibilities of revenue assurance (Forensics, Corrections and Compliance) and the industry standard methods for assigning scope and responsibility, measuring the effectiveness of RA activity, and tracking the cost of assurance activity directly against the financial benefit received.
