The Impact of Financial Analysis and Control on Project Performance

Abstract

This thesis looks at how financial analysis and controls help manage projects, using Blackline Task Management at Sanofi as an example. Blackline, started in 2021, is a tool that automates Sanofi’s financial closing tasks to make them faster and more accurate. It helps the finance team keep track of important tasks, especially during the end-of-month closing. To set it up, I worked with different teams at Sanofi, like project management and digital teams. Being part of the project team gave me real experience with the tool.
