Managing a company or an enterprise is not an easy task. The control of the whole process is important here. Otherwise, at the most inopportune time, there may be a problem that will eventually degenerate into a catastrophe. What is monitoring and what are the forms of monitoring we suggest now to find out.
What is monitoring and why is it needed?
Not everyone knows that this is monitoring. It is such a system of collecting or recording, storing and analyzing a small number of characteristics of a description of a particular object with the purpose of making judgments about the behavior (state) of an object in general. Monitoring is needed, first of all, to control the operation of a particular facility and when identifying operational response problems for their elimination.
What is financial monitoring?
Every entrepreneur understands why monitoring is necessary for business. In this case, it is the supervision and control over the cash flows of individuals and enterprises. This monitoring is carried out by the financial monitoring service. Fix the data and transfer to the service commercial banks. Also, subjects of financial monitoring - exchanges, insurance companies, payment systems and other financial structures. In different countries, this procedure has a different name "financial control", "financial intelligence".
What is tax monitoring?
We propose to find out what monitoring in the tax system means. Sometimes it is also called "horizontal tax monitoring". Among the key principles is the transparency of the taxpayer's work and procedures within the framework of internal inspections. This type of monitoring can become an innovative tool that gives such an opportunity to bring the business-state relationship to a whole new level. One of the important components of this mechanism is the opportunity to establish interaction between taxpayers and controlling bodies.
Why monitor?
Sometimes the question becomes urgent, why monitoring is necessary. As an example, you can take an enterprise with a small department, where there is a pair of servers, personal computers, network office equipment, the Internet and so on. Often, one administrator administers this equipment. Its working day should begin with such actions:
- Make sure that the server is operational and the server's temperature is not increased.
- Check the performance of critical services, the Internet, mail and other applications.
- Verify the backup job.
- Make sure the network equipment works.
Why do we need such daily checks? If you miss at least one future problem, then this can lead to a whole catastrophe. An example is the detection of a failure of backup copies due to lack of space. So, in this case, monitoring is needed in order to monitor administrators and assess the workload of servers.
Types of monitoring
Monitoring is divided into types by:
- Scales of education goals - strategic, tactical, operational monitoring.
- The stages of training - entrance, or selection, training or intermediate, the output or the final.
- Time dependence - retrospective, precautionary, current.
- The tasks, character and main functions are pedagogical, managerial.
- The scope of the observation object is continuous, local, selective.
- Organizational forms - continuous, individual, group.
- Forms object-subject relations - external or social, mutual control and self-analysis.
- The instrument used is standardized, non-standardized and matrix.
Principles of monitoring
You can check the objects of monitoring, taking into account the following principles:
- Development - is a system of implementation, completion of projects and the creation of new ones.
- The priority of leadership is the opposition to the environmental approach.
- Integrity - is the continuity of the concepts of "management - monitoring - examination".
- Information openness is an important condition for effectiveness.
- Monitoring performance - shows how effectively this other object works.
How to make monitoring?
Do not know what monitoring is and how to monitor it? We offer a brief instruction:
- Set clear goals for which monitoring is required. Thanks to the data received, you will have the opportunity to detect problems in time and make important decisions.
- Determine the list of parameters required for monitoring. With their help it will be possible to make a comparative analysis for different comparative gaps.
- Based on the results of the control, it is necessary to make an analysis using the methods of mathematical statistics. Already due to the obtained results you can correct the set goals.
- Apply methods to visualize the results of control. With their help, it will be possible to visualize the dynamics of the changes taking place.
- Thanks to the results of the analysis, draw conclusions and start preparing management decisions and proposals to eliminate the causes that hamper the achievement of the goal.
