Explains interactive features that let managers slice by project, region, or vendor to isolate cost drivers and spot anomalies. Discusses how near-real-time data and thresholds enable proactive interventions before budget overruns escalate. Recommends governance practices and data sources required to keep the dashboard accurate and actionable for both finance and procurement stakeholders.

Emphasizes combining ledger data with operational measures (headcount, production volumes) to avoid misleading conclusions. Advises on how to establish targets and monitor remediation progress through scheduled dashboard reports.

• Minimize Erratic Spending By
