Case Study: ANZ Bank transforms finance reporting and speeds decision-making with Qlik

How to Transform Your Financial Processes and Make Better Decisions with Data

ANZ Bank, a 185‑year multinational financial services company, set out to transform how its finance team makes decisions. Rebecca Kennedy, who leads finance BI, faced a fragmented reporting landscape—6,500 users across 40 reporting apps, senior leaders still relying on emails, PowerPoint and thousands of Excel sheets, and analysts spending days sourcing and validating data—making fast, reliable decision‑making difficult without aligning people, processes and technology.

ANZ implemented a finance BI strategy built on a single source of truth, intuitive UX, agile delivery and executive sponsorship, migrating reporting to Qlik Sense and consolidating data into governed sources. The change unified senior reporting, cut validation time from days to hours, reduced operating risk and key‑person dependency, improved adoption (including live use in board meetings), and created a flexible foundation for advanced analytics and faster, fact‑based decisions.
