It is important that financial management with an EPM goes beyond the numbers. With the information gathered, these systems offer detailed and updated financial reports and provide real-time financial analysis and modeling across all dimensions of the business. These reports help executives make more effective data-driven decisions.
- Accounting and global consolidation
Having a global accounting and consolidation function enables companies to run a global business in a simpler way. It is important for the EPM to have a multilingual user interface to overcome communication barriers, and that it also offers multicurrency management to work with different exchange rates. It should also offer audit and compliance reporting to ensure compliance with international security and IT standards, as well as a configurable tax engine.
The use of an EPM system not only benefits a company’s finance or administration department, but also other departments such as sales or human resources. Hence, is considered to be a tool capable of aligning the organization around its goals and objectives. At Fusionworks we help you implement this solution to optimize your financial processes.
