Build an Analytics Strategy for a Digital Finance Function

I have been asked by a large Telco provider to help build an Analytics Strategy for their Digital Finance
Function.

As part of this the client asked for a hands on proof of concept (PoC) analytic that demonstrates:
 Areas of financial risk, error and outlier detection
 Areas of inefficiency that could be improved

My task is to develop materials and the present your findings to the client (keep your presentation to a
max of 15 minutes). Things to consider in your presentation:

 What are some of the industry best practices for testing in the finance function?
 How would a business user interpret and take action from your PoC/what would their next steps be?
 How could the data be combined with other sources to generate further insights for the business?
 How you PoC could be combined with the broader strategy for increasing the adoption of analytics in
their finance function including:
o How you can increase the maturity of the client’s analytics capabilities over time
o Covering Strategy, People, Process, Data and Technology and where possible demonstrate
this through the findings from the PoC analytic
 Be as creative as possible and feel free to bring any other datasets, reference materials or thought

Feel free to make any assumptions on client’s current state capabilities and desire for analytics insights in
the future.

P.S. The data sets are with me in excel format, I'll send through once job is accepted.
