If your Financial Reporting process consists of manic monthly “fire-drills”, comprising time-consuming manual efforts, it’s time to embrace the Cloud. Earnings are becoming more volatile, data is changing at the speed of light, and management requires reports that deliver insights and are easy to analyse, rather than documents thrown together to meet a deadline, containing errors and duplications.
In our era of heightened governance, it is essential that management can clearly explain the quality and sustainability of corporate performance. How? By embracing Financial Reporting in the Cloud.
The Shortfalls of Manual Reporting
- Time-consuming, flawed process featuring inefficient collaboration
- Errors are made in combining data (what) with narrative (who, when, why)
- Organisations lack the ability to analyse the data to validate the narrative
- Disconnected process leads to:
- A lack of integration
- Inability to track progress and determine who is responsible for individual areas of content
- Lack of access control
