Standardize your data collection, consolidation, and reporting with repeatable, auditable processes.

Finance teams are under constant pressure to close the books quickly, deliver accurate reports, and stay ahead of changing regulatory requirements. For companies operating across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions, complying with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) can feel like an uphill battle.

Legacy systems and manual spreadsheets simply aren’t built for the complexity of IFRS consolidation requirements — from intercompany eliminations and internal gains and loss neutralization to equity variations and deferred tax calculations. These limitations cause delayed actuals, manual, time-consuming calculations and adjustments, and a higher risk of compliance errors that can trigger additional audit scope or financial restatements

It’s time for a better solution.
