Oracle Cloud EPM Consolidation and Close – Delivering a Faster Close (1 hour webinar)

A fast financial close has long been a target for finance and accounting organisations. It is seen as a sign of a well-run financial department and overall business. More than that it helps the organisation to better respond to changing business and economic conditions. It provides more time to analyse the results, address issues, make decisions and frees up time for other tasks. The generally accepted measure is that the close should be completed in a business week.

Join us to find out how your organisation can streamline your financial close with Oracle Cloud EPM Consolidation and Close. You will have the opportunity to see the software working and to ask questions to our uniquely qualified team.

Oracle Cloud EPM Consolidation and Close is a solution purpose-built for both effectively and efficiently managing financial consolidation and close, end to end. No matter what their size organisations can have 100% confidence in their financial consolidation, close and reporting processes. It helps corporate finance ensure that the entire process is dependable and correct, timely and transparent, streamlined and efficient and, compliant and auditable.

The solution can be configured to fit an individual organisation’s requirements using best practices along with pre-seeded content. This enables organisations to build a solution that meets both their business needs and specific requirements.
