First you have THE EXPECTATIONS of several people:

What can we do to take the stress away?

That ‘imaginary’ system is called:

MANAGEMENTWaiting to get your figures, and they better be correct!

Can we facilitate these precious time-consuming activities? An analysis logic that connects the various general ledger bookings to their causal operational transactions, logic built-in a self-service information system.

Let this ‘imaginary system’ do the analysis overnight, for all financial bookings, highlighting the deviations in an action list, presented to you on a daily or even a near real-time basis. Jump from a suspicious booking, reported by that action list, to the causing transaction with just a few mouse-clicks.

A system that allows you to do the checks to get the data right daily; a system that frees up time to prepare and substantiate the financial reports.

OPERATIONS MANAGERS Wanting to know how they

(and their departments) performed on their KPIs.

SHAREHOLDERS Waiting eagerly on

information.

What does the last

week of the period

(end-of-month, end-of-

quarter, end-of-year)

usually look like? STRESS

Check the financial bookings in your ERP system (like SAP) > there are loads of

financial bookings!

Then you look at the transactions of the usual suspects (people known for their

sloppiness).

Instead of checking out all transactions individually - you look for exceptionable,

unexpected amounts first.

THE END-OF-PERIODANALYSIS

How are you going to get them their desired information?

ANALYSIS

And ALL of this usually happens in the last week before the publication of the figures, that’s what we call:

STRESS

What does checking mean? Going at it line by line, clicking, selecting and

copying keys, view transactions, pasting the copied keys in search fields to investigate the listed transaction.

When the transactions have been corrected by the ill-doer (if you haven’t corrected it yourself), you must check whether the adjusted figures yield the

expected result.

Third and last, you take a relevant sample of the normal looking bookings and

check them.
