1 Successful strategy flows from accurate, timely and collaborative knowledge.
2 In today s globally complex, rapidly changing, Internet-linked business environment, the processes associated with financial consolidation are becoming increasingly challenging. To get a handle on business performance, it is essential to consolidate financial data quickly and use that information to examine past performance and understand future opportunities. Every company now faces this challenge, yet few implement comprehensive solutions that satisfy the needs of the entire enterprise. For example, few companies are prepared for transitions associated with the euro, much less positioned to take advantage of euro-related opportunities. Many are still struggling with disparate ERP systems that fail to integrate data effectively. Global accounting requirements and frequent restructuring also present serious hurdles for large and small companies alike. Hyperion Financial Consolidation 3
3 Financial Consolidation and Reporting Challenges As businesses and competitive environments continue to rapidly evolve, operations and finance have to keep pace. Financial departments are providing more and more decision support capabilities, and organizational structures are continually adapting to change. In addition, management is demanding more detailed and qualitative analysis of business results. Globalization complicates consolidation processes. Companies must address specific legal, statutory and tax requirements. Varying and conflicting local and regional requirements, like US GAAP, UK GAAP, FASB, IAS and HGB, add to that complexity, and accounting standards are constantly changing. As a result, very few companies are prepared for the changes let alone strategically positioned to react quickly. The European Monetary Union (EMU) will be the world s largest single market. Any company dealing with or operating in Europe will need to adjust to the currency change and manage multiple currencies during the transition period. Again, very few companies are ready to adjust to dramatic change or capitalize on significant opportunities generated by the new structure. In terms of technology, many companies are still struggling to integrate ERP systems and leverage all their data sources. Once those issues are resolved, organizations need to go a step beyond ERP transaction processing and provide analysis capabilities to their users. Advanced reporting, analysis, modeling and planning solutions link up these critical pieces of the enterprise and offer highly scalable performance and user access. Industry leaders are heading in this direction. Factors external to the processes of financial consolidation, reporting and analysis are becoming increasingly important, as well. The Internet and electronic commerce have extended the limits and accelerated the pace of integration and globalization. 4 Hyperion Financial Consolidation
4 Common Consolidation Difficulties In addition to the various paradigm shifts inherent to globalization, consolidation itself is prone to numerous inefficiencies. Many organizations have to work through countless hurdles in order to complete their financial consolidation and reporting processes. Typical difficulties: Many financial consolidation processes are manual and error-prone, requiring re-keying of data from multiple, differing financial systems with different charts of accounts into spreadsheets for consolidations. Companies are unable to manage multiple currencies, rates and conversions because they vary by scenario, country and account type (Balance Sheet vs. Income Statement). The new EMU reporting requirements for the euro currency also pose a challenge. Users find it difficult to make top-level, auditable journal adjustments. Reconciling inter-company discrepancies and account balances is a tedious process. Many systems do not support management, tax and legal roll-up structures or statutory audit requirements. The processes don t automatically adapt to changing business hierarchies for management reporting or adjust to the changes resulting from mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. Dynamic organization structures may also include minority ownerships, which most systems cannot handle. The processes provide limited ad hoc reporting on consolidated data and do not address new segment reporting requirements as outlined by the Federal Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) in FAS131/IAS14. Reporting needs may differ by group, with some users needing ad hoc access to live data, while others require highly formatted monthly briefing books. Time spent consolidating and organizing reports takes away from time that could be spent on analysis and other strategic activities. Hyperion Financial Consolidation 5
