“It’s difficult to generate

are important and relevant to their jobs”
“ We wish to share information with
external parties such as
“Business users are drawing incorrect Investors, Management and other Stake
conclusions and missing opportunities due Holders on time”
to lack of timely information”
26. Traditional FCM Challenges - Using Excel
• Little Centralized Control
• Poor Data Integrity
• Unmanageable consolidation mechanics
• Little facility to view data across different
dimensions
• Challenge to react and reflect to changes
• Inflexible reporting - Non dynamic statements
• Rigid templates for each user involved
• High Risk Change Management
27. Do You need FCM Application ?
• As an organization grows, so does the difficulty of its
financial consolidation and reporting challenge.
• Organizations have to deal with
– multiple currencies, geographies
– various accounting standards
– Changing reporting requirements
– Compliance Regulations.
– Integration of new business units into the reporting chain.
• Through all of this, the organization must balance the
need for precise financial reporting and corporate
governance with the need for timeliness in meeting
reporting deadlines
