Use of financial information and the financial system

This paper gives an overview of the different clients of the financial system and how their demands for information may influence its development. As an operating unit and a 'prime user' of the financial system we should be in the driving seat to ensure the scarce resources are used and managed in the best possible way. This paper focuses on the importance of a correct use of the financial system, awareness of its functionalities and the importance of knowing potential deviations as soon as possible while one is still able to influence the final cost. It finishes by underscoring the importance of letting our requests be heard when the financial system is developed.
