Unilever is celebrated for its relentless innovation, not only in product development but also in its strategic and operational frameworks. The Compass strategy was devised to empower the business with effective profit and loss management. Building on this foundation, the Finance Target Operating Model (TOM) delineates the roles and workflows for National Finance Teams with precision.
Compass also sought to reduce organizational costs, and the adoption of disruptive technology further underscored the rationale for TOM. Launched in July 2022, the Compass strategy set the stage for the TOM Project, which commenced in 2023 to elevate Compass's vision, integrating seamlessly with the dynamic technological landscape.
TOM has established principles for Controlling within the SEAI Controlling organization by being process experts, managing end-to-end financial reporting, and helping the business manage risks and protect value. A three-tier model identifies ownership, ensuring controls are in place. Market Controllers will maintain external relations, ensure local compliance, mitigate risk, and ensure controls and compliance when there are new business models and key changes to ways of working. A Regional Controller will manage in-market finance capabilities across countries whilst COMEX will support transactional activities and drive technology adoption.
