Definitions & troubleshooting

• Defintions

• KARSMA

• Dangling investment

• Confusion

• TVX spider web

• Optimize your data base

• PEBKAC

• Troubleshooting

• My KAR’s broken

• Is KARS down?

• KARS froze up

• My P&L appears truncated

• I can enter it but it refuses to post

• I sent that part of the email telepathically

• I loaded this yesterday but it apparently did not “take”

• After you are on the verge of giving up, the system

finally brings up the login screen only to later flash the

blue bar death warning “The system cannot

download information from the

KARS.KINROSSGOLD.COM server.”


59

“Then” quarterly consolidation process

• First collected at a regional level

• Highly summarized financial data

• Submitted to headquarters 10 days after financial

reporting cut-off date

• Headquarters took a week to generate consolidated

P&L & balance sheet

• Another week to issue consolidated cash flow report

• Request for more detail placed additional burden on

regions and/or local business units


60

“Now” monthly close process

• WD3

• AP & AR closed 8am

• Ounces produced input & transferred to Finance

• WD6

• Source GL (JD Edwards) closed 8am & data loaded into BPC

• Operations data transferred to Finance at 3pm

• WD8

• Balance sheet continuities completed – cash flow completed

• Supplementary input schedules completed

• All entities submitted by COB

• WD9

• Operations results issued to SLT

• Regional signoff – KARS locked for the period

• WD10

• Consolidated results issued to Executive Team


61

Results

• Rapid external financial reporting

• First time in company’s history that audited quarterly financial statements were

released at the same time as publicly announced quarterly financial results

• Reduced reporting cycle timeline

• 50% faster for completing consolidated balance sheet, profit & loss

and cash flow statements

• Business users can focus more time on analytics & operational

improvements

• Consolidated ‘monthly’ internal reporting

• Delivered on budget & on time


62

Post ‘go-live’

• Planning: Annual budgets & quarterly forecasts

• IFRS reporting

• User base increased from 60, in 2008, to 150 today

• Enhanced reporting & analysis

• Corporate responsibility reporting e.g. Consumption of carbon-emitting substances
