Accelerated Reporting & Consolidation (‘ARC’)

Good Information Leads to Good Decisions

Improving performance management is critical to any organization. The increasing focus on accountability, transparency and corporate governance – exemplified by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act – along with demanding, rapidly changing reporting requirements such as International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’), have made robust, cost-effective financial management more critical and vital than ever.

Successful performance management strategies demand consolidation and financial reporting processes that reflect accepted best practices, are stable, rigorous, reliable, and free of control risks requiring manual intervention and the maintenance of spreadsheet-based “shadow system”.
