3 ways to energize your Corporate reporting process

Every decent sized organization deals with management reporting as CXOs and the board expect to receive regular updates on the organization’s performance. Depending on the size of the organization, you could have one or more financial analysts toiling away in putting together the required corporate reports. In most cases this is a time-consuming exercise, leaving little time for analysing the data and taking prompt action. This doesn’t have to be the case though. Here are 3 ways for you to energize your corporate reporting process: 1.Efficient information architecture design There is sometimes a less than optimum understanding of what constitutes good information architecture for an organization. Most organizations feel that a good ERP will take care of managing operations as well as reporting. This is obviously untrue.

The perils of consolidating financials in Excel

                                                                                    Visit:  https://finalyzer.beyondsquare.com/ Excel is a fantastic tool for the finance professional. It allows for a reasonable amount of reporting, budgeting, analysis & forecasting. It is inexpensive, and is widely understood within the finance industry. This means that most employees are already trained and comfortable using it. These things make it a practical choice, at least until the business grows to a size where the problems of using excel start becoming evident. Financial consolidation can be complicated or simple, but for CFOs the overriding goal is always the same: faster and more efficient closes. Once you begin adding complexity to the business with operations overseas, acquisitions of other businesses, or the in-depth reporting required to satisfy the interests of venture capitalists, regulators and internal stakeholders, excel for close management cannot keep up the pace.
