KPI (key performance indicator) control Explanation: Yes, Kennzahlen are *often* "ratios", but not always! It often means "(key) financial indicators", or KPIs, and I think that KPIs are what are meant here. "Controlling" itself (as a Neudeutsch word) is often very tricky to translate. In pure corporate finance terms, it generally means "management/managerial accounting and financial control", but I'd go for just "control" here (in the same way that "IT-Controlling" is "IT control". |
