This team provides CPM stakeholders with tools and insights to meet business and regulatory needs. The Product team maintains technology platforms like FP&A systems, Spend Management, and Third-Party Risk Management tools, focusing on user experience and digital workflows for vendor management and compliance. The Reporting team creates reports, dashboards, and analytics to show spending patterns, risk metrics, and performance, helping stakeholders monitor KPIs, find cost savings, and make informed decisions while ensuring data accuracy and compliance. Finance & Planning manages planning and reporting to support the firm’s strategic goals, integrating revenue, expense, liquidity, and capital planning in collaboration with Controllers, Treasury, and Risk. This pillar includes divisional CFOs who advise on financial opportunities and manage zero-based budgeting. Product Finance oversees governance and accounting for non-compensation expenses, ensuring efficient use and transparency for senior leadership. Corporate Insurance & Advisory manages insurance needs, connects risk to insurance solutions, and provides advisory support for firm activities and claims. CPM Engineering develops solutions for managing third-party spend, data, automation, budgeting, forecasting, and expense allocation to support decision-making aligned with strategic objectives. CPM Management includes senior leaders and teams that give strategic oversight and operational support across The Core. This pillar covers the Chief of Staff function and Communications and User Engagement team, which manage change initiatives and people strategies for CPM.
