- Current level of available data did not support Cash Flow reporting requirements or full Management reporting
- Limited to no visibility into the International Close Process, leading to delays in the close cycle
Implementation Objectives:
- Accelerate the International Close Cycle
- Provide detailed reporting capabilities which generate reports timely
- Automate Minority Interest/Joint Venture entries
- Support Cash Flow requirements by generating FX Impact by Account
- Include Footnote and Disclosure needs, similar to existing Domestic HFM
- Support inclusion of Plan/Projection data
