Conclusion

Supporting an efficient period-end financial close process is essential to producing timely and accurate financial and operating results for any internal and external stakeholders that require agile decision-making. This might sound easy on the surface, but in a large global enterprise, the process can be very complex. Such a process includes collecting and consolidating financial results from multiple systems, managing currency translations, handling intercompany eliminations, accounting for partial ownerships and reporting in accordance with multiple reporting standards. Purpose-built software applications to support the financial close and reporting process have been available for over 20 years. Yet many organizations struggle in managing this complex process with spreadsheets and manual work, or legacy financial applications that are inflexible and no longer meet current business requirements. Organizations that have adopted modern, cloud-based applications for financial close, consolidation, reporting and other processes have been more successful in streamlining the process, ensuring the accuracy of their financial results. And perhaps most importantly, such organizations have gained the agility needed to adopt quickly to changing business and industry requirements.
