This webinar is designed for CPAs and corporate finance professionals seeking to transform financial reporting across their enterprise by improving accuracy, maximizing accessibility, and enhancing efficiency. In recent years, general accounting automation has seen continuous enhancements and now cloud-based reporting can accelerate and automate period-end close in all new ways. Despite this, many finance professionals still rely on spreadsheets to complete their financial reporting process.

Discover how to say goodbye to spreadsheet limitations—such as inaccurate mappings, incorrect data, broken macros, manual entry of final adjustments, and constant error checking—without having to change your ERP system! Establish a single source of truth across the enterprise while offering audit-ready reporting, drill-down access to transaction-level detail, and full compliance with IFRS and local-GAAP reporting requirements.

Learning Objectives:

• Calculate how to enhance the period-end close process by automating financial reporting, reducing the time required by 30-40%


• Give examples of how to harmonize consolidated, corporate, and divisional reporting despite operating under multiple ERP systems, currencies, charts of accounts, financial year-ends, and accounting compliance standards


• Determine how an entire organization (head office, regional centers, and local operations) can all utilize the same accounting dataset to produce the reports needed for each respective audience


• Evaluate how the CFO can use the cloud to increase overall confidence in the numbers across the organization as well as with auditors, banks, investors, and regulatory authorities
