Data and analytics services
Reporting rules encoded once, applied every period, corrected in one place.
Financial statements were assembled by hand against accounting-standard presentation requirements. Each reporting period repeated the same work, each repetition risked a different error, and corrections were made in spreadsheets and lost by the next cycle.
We built a reporting system that produces standard-compliant statements directly from source data, with presentation and classification rules encoded as system logic rather than convention. A correction is now made to a rule once, not to a spreadsheet every quarter.
The situation
- Financial statements were assembled manually against accounting-standard presentation requirements.
- Each reporting period repeated the same work, and each repetition risked a different error.
- Corrections were made in spreadsheets and lost by the next cycle.
What we built
- A reporting system producing standard-compliant statements directly from source data.
- Presentation and classification rules encoded as system logic rather than convention.
- Reporting output structured so figures can be traced back to their source records.
What changed in daily operations
- Period-end stopped consuming analyst weeks.
- A correction is made to a rule once, not to a spreadsheet every quarter.
- Finance staff review and explain the numbers instead of assembling them.
