My suggestion would be to include more visibility (breakdown) of the financial results of the Company.
For Managers, it is very important to track and understand the Variable Costs, Fixed Costs, Distribution Costs, Marketing Expenses and General Overhead Expenses. This way the player should be able to understand better the operating profit and make decisions accordingly.
I would suggest having a section with financial information including all these (a good example is Capitalism 2 or Capitalism Lab).
If a financial model is included, I would suggest multiple currencies, and other macroeconomic variables, such as interest rates, inflation and GDP growth.
There is a Business Simulation Game used by Universities in their MBA degrees called Business Strategy Game (http://bsi.bsg-online.com/) which has all these in place.
