The Consolidation Process
What is Financial Consolidation? Consolidation in financial accounting is a technique that summarizes a group of
companies' financial statements into one. This offers the benefit of viewing the wholegroup's financial information together to see how all companies are doing combined.
Increasingly, global organizations need to integrate data from multiple transactionalsystems, transition to new international financial reporting standards, and improve theirtransparency and regulatory compliance procedures.
Companies use a variety of tools (spreadsheets, emails, pivots and queries) to identifyand summarize all business unit activity that interacting with other business units.
This can often mean thousands of transactions, all of which must be identified, reconciled and eliminated!
Elimination Intercompany elimination refers to the process for removal of transactions between
companies included in a group in the preparation of consolidated accounts.
Intercompany transactions (sales, services, transfers) must be eliminated in the parentfinancial statements otherwise a company could be double -counting activity.
However, the process involves a lot of reporting and paperwork for intercompanyrelationships can be quite complicated.
Data must be reviewed, reconciled and approved before process is complete.

Foreign Currency Translation
How is Consolidation impacted by various currencies? Businesses may enter into transactions (sales, payments, etc.)
in multiple currencies. Each business unit translates these itemsto its functional currency at an appropriate exchange rate.
The QBU then prepares periodic reports of its position (balancesheet) and activity (income and cash flow statements) in thatfunctional currency.
Per accounting standards, before results are consolidated intothe parents GL, foreign currency amounts must be translated(converted) from the subsidiary currency into the parentcurrency.
Different types of transactions must be translated at differentrates.
P&L activity (sales, COGs, expenses) must be converted at theAVERAGE monthly rate.
Balance sheet activity (Cash, AR, AP) must be converted at theENDING monthly rate.
When an item is settled, the difference due to exchange ratemovement in the amount accrued and the amount settled istreated as foreign exchange gain or loss in the financials.

Different Accounting Standards How can different accounting standards worldwide impact foreign currency
transactions? Currently, most US companies with international subsidiaries are required toaccount for this activity per the standards of GAAP (Generally Accepted AccountingStandards). However, International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS) will be requiredadoption by US Companies by 2014 unless the SEC decides to delay
implementation.Similarities

Adopting IFRS, leaving GAAPA function of your Dual Reporting Choices
1. Many subsidiaries will retain a GL and subsystems in compliancewith either
Statutory requirements (foreign subsidiaries)
Regulatory legislation (utilities, financial services, etc.)
2. Hyperion HFM will be the main go-between from legacy GL tofinancial reporting systems.
1. This is the most likely scenario for US companies.
3. Others will find that their existing GL is quite appropriate, but thatthey have a few subsystem areas that will require adjustment.
4. Others will require that they need to do something moresubstantial, for example restructuring their business, up to thepoint of reimplementing

Complicated Consolidations
As you can see, intercompany accounting can be a VERY complicated process! Due to acquisitions, intercompany activity and foreign currency accounting, getting a real
picture of the state of the total business (consolidation) can be challenging.
Compliance with different accounting standards, various reporting and filing methods,disparate general ledgers and multiple currencies can be an accounting and reportingnightmare.
Reviewing, matching, reconciling and accounting for multi-entity, multi-currencyintercompany transactions can often slow the monthly close process down by days or evenweeks.
In fact, mid-size to larger companies often retain an entire team in the accounting department justto do consolidations!
Using Excel for Intercompany accounting, consolidation and translation is not theanswer. Excel is a great personal productivity tool but is not designed for complex calculations,
accounting for multiple lines of business and/or entities or complicated consolidations.
Additionally, Excel spreadsheets do not lend themselves to auditing, process management,version control and approvals.
Companies with millions of dollars in revenue using Excel as their consolidation tool areexposing themselves for errors, deficiencies, or material weakness in internal control.

HFM Benefits Enable a More Efficient Process, controlled by Finance
IT not needed for most, if any, aspects of HFM. A tool used for Finance and owned byFinance. Ensures that all data is integrated and validated prior to review by management.
Automate and improve the timing and efficiency of the month end close. Increased Dimensionality and Intercompany Process eliminates much of the manual matching and
reconciliation process.
Reduce consolidation and reporting cycles by days or even weeks simply by eliminatingredundant data entry and the need to check and double-check actual results.
Reduced data entry, risk of error and risk of key files located in hard drives orspreadsheets. Modeling or tracking such a business via linked spreadsheets might work if conditions remained
stable, but they dont.
Constantly modifying a collection of spreadsheets is a particularly complicated, time-consumingprocess full of workarounds and compromises the opposite of whats needed.
Easier financial consolidation no need for manual uploads, email of files ortransferring of files.
Fast calculation performance most calculations performed in 4 seconds or less Workflow feature ensures timeliness or user preparation and management review
Email alerts to remind user of deadlines.

Phase 1: Prepare
In the Prepare phase, our objective is to build your project mission and definition.We will build a roadmap and framework for the entire project.
We define the scope and terms; identify people and resources, milestones andtargets.
We work with your project team to establish and communicate expectations for
the project and perform baseline Oracle training. All implementation strategies are explored and decided upon during this phase.
We will establish the base line technical infrastructure that will be necessary tocomplete the project. All of these elements are the basis for developing your project plan.
At the end of the prepare phase, the deliverables include: A definition of Scope, Objectives & Approach that will guide the project. A RapidApp WBS that outlines all tasks as well as a resource plan. A Quality Plan for all phases and deliverables.

Phase 2: Configure
In the Configure phase, youll establish the boundaries of your project. We will work with your team to capture your functional requirements and
translate those requirements into a technical design. The technical designbecomes the foundation against which we develop the data warehouse, ETL anddashboards.
The conference room pilot at the end of the Configure phase will be the point atwhich we validate that the develop solution matches the defined requirements.
At the conclusion of the configure phase, you will have:A definition of Scope, Objectives & Approach that will guide the project. Application Functional Design specification document(s)

Well help you conduct system testing to ensure a smooth transition intoproduction.
Well also help you determine a training approach for your end users, design
training material and a training environment, and conduct the training, if requested.
At the end of the test phase, the deliverables include: Documented Test Scripts that you used to test the system A complete end user training approach ready for rollout including Training
