Financials

To accomplish its strategies and guide its employees and organization towards achieving its objectives, Securitas has an established financial framework that continuously measures the Group’s performance at every level from the more than 2,000 branch offices up to the consolidated Group. This method of reporting makes it possible to follow a number of clear, simple key ratios that are understood by every employee.

The Group’s financial reporting aims to produce as accurate information as possible so that managers and employees can take the decisions necessary to achieve profitable growth in line with Securitas’ strategies and can control risks to ensure the satisfactory fulfillment of objectives. Financial reporting also forms the basis of good internal control.

The Group’s financial reporting is based on the following foundations:

• Securitas Six Fingers, the financial model that gives guidelines for the divisions’ financial focus and the division of responsibilities between different levels of the organization regarding financial key ratios.
• Financial Policies and Guidelines, the Board of Directors’ policy document built around three central themes: transparent and coherent internal and external reporting, proactive risk management, and continuous improvement of financial oversight and control processes.
•  The Securitas Reporting Manual, which provides all managers and financial staff with detailed instructions and definitions for financial reporting.
• The Controller, who has the role of working with integrity and professionalism and in collaboration with others to inspire high ethical standards and high levels of competence and dedication and to strive continuously for accurate, transparent, relevant and timely financial information.
