List of Finance KPIs

A Finance KPI can be a:

  • Taxonomy account, either at sublevel 0 or at sublevel > 0. In the latter case, the aggregate amount is the sum of the child taxonomy accounts.
  • Formula, a definition of which taxonomy accounts are aggregated.

The measure that is used depends on the Finance KPI:

  • Movement for profit/loss taxonomy accounts (account type Income or Expense).
  • Period Closing Balance for balance taxonomy accounts (account type Asset or Liability).
  • Average Balance or Movement for other taxonomy accounts (account type Miscellaneous).

For a list of all taxonomy accounts and parent – child structures, see Taxonomies.

This table shows the available Finance KPIs and formulas/measures:
