Financial Perspective
Kaplan and Norton do not disregard the traditional need for financial data. Timely and accurate funding data will always be a priority, and managers will do whatever necessary to provide it. In fact, often there is more than enough handling and processing of financial data. With the implementation of a corporate database, it is hoped that more of the processing can be centralized and automated. But the point is that the current emphasis on financials leads to the "unbalanced" situation with regard to other perspectives.
There is perhaps a need to include additional financial-related data, such as risk assessment and cost-benefit data, in this category.
Other KPI perspectives
According to the balanced scorecard the KPIs are divided into the following four perspectives:
Financial
Customer
Process
HR and Innovation |

The financial kpis should be split into a sub level such as 'Profitability', 'Gearing', 'ROI', 'Cash Flow' etc. Also the structure should cover different levels of the ratios - some ratios could be at CFO level and some should be focussed on Finance Manager level
Variance analysis ratios could also be covered as part of this initiative.

I agree that the financial KPIs can be clustered in further detail. We are currently investigating how to improve the structure (and the navigation in general) of the wiki. We will come up with some ideas shortly.
If you feel that additional KPIs should be included, just go ahead and add them.
