SAP Financial Consolidation Key Features

  • Automated consolidation processes: Streamline the production of financial statements and meet reporting requirements such as local Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

  • Performance: Run all processes with a fully traceable audit trail that doesn’t compromise performance.
  • Reporting structures: Combine legal and management reporting structures in a single consolidated view. Compare what-if simulations side-by-side to analyze organizational changes, mergers, or acquisitions.
  • Real-time reporting: SAP Financial Consolidation runs on the SAP HANA® platform, in addition to Microsoft SQL and Oracle.
  • Open integration: Seamlessly integrate data and master data from both SAP and non-SAP sources into financial planning and consolidation environment.
  • Compliance: Includes version control and granular audit trails to track all adjustments made during consolidation.
  • Risk management: Allows users to generate scenario analyses and what-if simulations to predict the impact of currency fluctuations, market changes, or acquisitions.
  • Role-based assess: Facilitates segregation of duties among users and role-based permissions to ensure only certain personnel can access financial data.
